Music for labour

[mummy2b19]

I am burning some CDs with my Fav songs on for labour but a lot of them are the sort of things that you would sing and dance to rather than dead relaxing but thats what I listen to at home. I will do one with calm and relaxing songs but the other two seem to be lots of eminem and then rhianna and similar. Does this seem really wierd I figured that if what I listen to when i need motivation to do house work etc then it would be quite good to keep me up beat etc obviously its not going to be on really loud, does this seem like a good idea or a waste of time to you are the midwives going to think I am wierd? I think I remeber someone once posting that they had an eminem CD to listen though during labour? xx

Lol, i've just put a load of my usual music on mp3 player. I thought if i had songs i could sing along nd rock to the beat lol. If i put relaxing stuff i thought during contractions i'd get frustrated with myseld probably shouting "WHY HAVE I PUT THIS IRRITATING S**T ON TO TRY CALM ME DOWN" all over the place, and i want to create a little a scene as possible so just guna hum and scream along to my fav tunes.

Belly bean also likes more upbeat songs so hope this will encourage him/her. Especially the song LMFAO - "sexy and i know it" wiggle wiggle wiggle.. lol

I have downloaded a Thai spa collection which I hope will get me relaxed but otherwise I have James morrisson and Lionel Richie hahaha
