At one point, the doula put on some soothing music, like what you hear when you get a massage, and I made my husband tell her to turn it off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-245204 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:56:48 +0000 rachiecakes 245204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>there's no way I could've had relaxing music - I made a playlist of Janes Addiction and Iggy Pop, L7,.. my workout music. but when it came down to it, I didn't listen to it at all.<br /> The Wizard of Oz was on the TV playing on a station that was showing it 24 hours. Which is funny - I've had this Wizard of Oz thing my whole life, even wore ruby slippers under my wedding dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-245141 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:15:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 245141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the mix of answers! I'll bring my iPhone and I have started 2 play list, one with just instruments, and the other with relaxing songs and if we use it great, if not not a big deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-245107 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:55:14 +0000 mediagirl 245107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made a playlist. I quickly forgot about it. I wanted absolute silence. I didn't even want anyone telling me what a good job I was doing (LIARS!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-245106 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:54:04 +0000 stargal 245106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i brought my cd player (old school, i know) and listened to it during labor, it was relaxing. i listened to dashboard confessional and the fray </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-244320 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 02:41:23 +0000 Sweet T 244320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my ipod but didn't even use it. I think I would have if I hadn't ended up with the interventions that I did, but who knows. There was music playing during my csection but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-244314 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 02:19:10 +0000 looch 244314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't use music, even though my husband made us a playlist. When the time came, it was really hectic and the room was kind of loud. I doubt I would have even heard it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-244312 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 02:10:06 +0000 lemondrop 244312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we had remembered to bring it inside, I probably wouldn't have paid much attention to it anyway. Labor was too fast and painful for me to care. I'd have it ready just in case though, you never know what you are going to get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-243973 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:20:53 +0000 regberadaisy 243973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our iPhones so the option was there but we didn't in the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-243937 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:51:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 243937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: It was perfect for my labor. I had a tumultuous and rough labor and it was so great to have that in the background as a reminder that I wasn't alone and I could do this!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-243916 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:39:39 +0000 cheesetomywhine 243916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't bring music with me but was offered the radio. I didn't care either way so they put on my station which is the top 40. I enjoyed having music, though it was not a necessity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-243909 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:34:50 +0000 heffalump 243909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Silence. I like music during some things, like when I cook/bake. But I knew labor and delivery would be better in silence for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-243902 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:30:04 +0000 Rubies 243902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Good one with Hillsong - That would have been really soothing and inspiring! Maybe with #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-243882 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:16:08 +0000 Weagle 243882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was so crazy we forgot to bring in our hospital bags, camera, or even move the car from the emergency zone (where is was sitting unlocked). Music was the last thing we were thinking about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-243881 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:14:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 243881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did!!!<br /> I made a playlist on my iPod... I am a Christian so I did have quite a bit of worship/Christian music like Phil Wickham and Hillsong.</p> <p>But I also had some instrumental- Phil Keaggy was the most relaxing in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-243879 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:13:13 +0000 Rubies 243879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I needed silence. I even had the hubs agree not to make small talk with me. When I'm sick or hurt, I need silence to focus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-in-delivery#post-243877 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:11:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 243877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have decided I want light music playing when I'm in labor, island sounds , ect. What did you have playing or once it happened did you decide you needed silence? </p>
