What music did you listen to while in labor?

I didnt listen to music, unless you call the fetal heart monitor music lol.

I took my Enya cd’s although there were times when I just preferred silence. Dim lights were the most soothing thing for me.

With my oldest we had Miles Davis and Jimmy Buffet going. And with my youngest we played on Gary Jules song. When the contractions started getting tough I didn’t want the music on. It was too much a distraction.

By the end of the Gary Jules song I was yelling at my husband to turn off the effing music.

So in the end the music ended up ticking me off and I don’t think it was the music choice.

Chingy – Nasty Girl … best to blast this during the process ease all the pain

Back labor is caused when the baby lies posteriorly – or “sunny-side-up”, and the pain is from the baby’s spine pressing on your spine as well as nerves along your back.

The baby can turn over at any time prior to labor – or during labor.

Some women just naturally feel their labor pains in their lower back even if the baby is not posterior – I know I did!

Try reading this:
“When your baby is in a posterior position, you can try to stop him/her from descending lower. You want to avoid the baby engaging in the pelvis in this position, while you work on encouraging him to turn around. Jean Sutton says that most babies take a couple of days to turn around when the mother is working hard on positioning.
Avoid deep squatting

Use the ‘knee to chest’ position. When on hands and knees, stick your bottom (butt) in the air, to tip the baby back up out of your pelvis so that there is more room for him to turn around.

Sway your hips while on hands and knees

Crawl around on hands and knees. A token 5 minutes on hands and knees is unlikely to do the trick – you need to keep working at this until your baby turns. Try crawling around the carpet for half an hour – while watching TV or listening to music. It is good exercise as well as good for the baby’s position!

Don’t put your feet up! Lying back with your feet up encourages posterior presentation.

Swim belly-down, but avoid kicking with breaststroke legs as this movement is said to encourage the baby to descend in the pelvis [3]. You can still swim breaststroke, but simply kick with straight legs instead of “frogs’ legs”.

I didn’t listen to music, I read a book.

Our childbirth instructor said a lot of women respond well to the sound of the ocean…so I bought some nature cd’s of the ocean, as well as a “sleep” cd with peaceful music as well as ocean sounds…I’m soon to be in labor, but so far the sleep cd is amazing for my insomnia!

if i WAS in labor, I’ll probably listen to classical ,soothing ,or just the same music I usually listen to.
