Tracy Chapman is definitely going on the list now, too :)</p> <p>@ash: those lists are awesome! Omg I can imagine hearing "What a Wonderful World" during the final push and having beb on my chest...haha I may or may not be crying right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-887921 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:50:40 +0000 Happygal 887921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: those are fun lists. I love music!</p> <p>@Lulu Mom: I was with my sister and she ended up wanting mainly silence. Everything bugged her. I remember putting on her wedding CD that had a Garth Brooks song. Mid-contraction and throwing up, she made it clear that she did NOT want to hear that song. She was annoyed b/c he had cheated on his wife, and she didn't want to hear a song sung by a cheater. Hah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-887757 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:11:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 887757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On my mix I had a mix of Bob Marley (my happy place is Jamaica) and mellow country toons (mostly George Strait.) However, I did not listen to my mix at all, I wanted silence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-887749 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:06:43 +0000 Ash 887749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Tracy Chapman would be a good one to have on a playlist!</p> <p>I sat it on a birth class and the instructor played a few relaxing songs... one of them being "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong and let me tell you, it really set the mood. I loved it.</p> <p>This girl posts a couple different lists depending on the stage of labor: <a href="http://happyhealthymama.com/2011/12/my-labor-playlists.html" rel="nofollow">http://happyhealthymama.com/2011/12/my-labor-playlists.html</a></p> <p>ETA: this one has some good recs too :) <a href="http://archive.tcoyf.com/forums/t/117852.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://archive.tcoyf.com/forums/t/117852.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-887571 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 05:57:44 +0000 Happygal 887571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I saw a funny thread of this one time where people shared their songs. A woman said she had Salt &amp; Peppa's Push It on there! There's a band called Sin Redmond and they play a song called Good Thoughts. Before we were even TTC, I remember hearing it and thinking that sounded like a good song to have a baby to! Tracy Chapman has some soothing songs, like I'm Ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-887396 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:40:10 +0000 MamaMagpie 887396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsClownfish: that's the second time I've heard of hypnobabies! Definitely going to need to get it :)</p> <p>Since I've posted this I've been thinking a lot about it and I think stuff like Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Colbie Calait, etc is what I'm going to go with. Hopefully it helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-886268 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:25:19 +0000 MrsClownfish 886268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started thinking about this too! My preferences for music are all over the place -- from 60s folk to jason mraz to 90s hip hop....so I have no idea what my playlist is going to look like. </p> <p>Having said that, I purchased the hypnobabies program which has tracks for you to listen to while you are in labor </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-878280 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 21:10:45 +0000 MamaMagpie 878280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@red_seattle: ooooh, yes, Dave Matthews! I can totally see that hitting the right balance between relaxing and something to focus on!</p> <p>@meganmp: I like the idea of having two mixes -- good thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-877734 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 13:56:31 +0000 meganmp 877734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two different mixes, and waited until the hospital to decide what I wanted. One was calmer, and had Brandi Carlile an Nina Simone type music on it, the other was a bit more... rockin'. It had things like Social Distortion on it. I liked the calmer one while in labor, and if I had remembered to bring it into the OR (where I had to push) I would have had the more rockin' one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-877703 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 13:09:04 +0000 red_seattle 877703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might be showing my Seattle here, but Dave Matthews. That got me through early labor wonderfully. Mellow, but not in a put-you-to-sleep kind of way. I also liked that his lyrics are clear and easy to understand, so I could focus on them. But by about 15/16 hrs in I could hardly have told you my name, let alone cared about what music was playing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-songs-were-on-your-lampd-playlist#post-877693 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 12:44:51 +0000 MamaMagpie 877693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because we're moving at the end of July, I'm not able to nest and prepare LO's nursery like I'm aching to, so I'm trying to think of all the other things I can do to prepare for the big day.</p> <p>What songs did you have on your L&amp;D playlist, if you had one? I'd love to start compiling some stuff and am drawing a blank on what I could put on there! </p>
