Is it a good Idea to play music at My Babies Birth
My partner and I really love music, it helps me to calm down and relax. I think it would be great that one of the first thing the babies hears is music. However, I'm worried that the hospital will even allow it. Has anyone ever done this? Anyone else planning to do this @ their babies birth?

i had soft relaxing music at my babys birth… i just wasnt allowed to have it loud… it was right next to my bed and it was playing softly… no nurses minded and i plan to have the same with my next baby =]
good luck
I am due with my third. I planned on it for my first. Frankly, it was the worst idea. The last thing that I wanted was any noise or sound while having a natural birth. Once in active labor, I wanted everyone to sit down, shut up, and leave me alone. The sound of my husband moving on his chair felt like fingernails on a chalkboard.
With my second, I politely demanded absolute quiet the entire time and felt like strangling the chatty student nurse who kept trying to engage me in conversation.
If you have an epidural, it would probably be nice, but if you are going to try to go without anything, I would not recommend it past a 3-4 dilation.
Oh yeah. I’m doing the music because it’ll give me something to concentrate on. I’m having a natural birth and know from experience that any distraction is good and music just plain makes you feel good.
I plan to have my MP3 player. I’m the same as you, obsessed with music. But I’ll need it to keep me distracted.
I’d think that if you had requested it ahead of time, bring your own equipment (a SMALL cd player and some CDs, or an ipod dock) and keep it at a respectable level for other patients they’ll allow it. Double check with your doctor though.
I had music on for the entire labor, delivery and recovery for my daughter. My husband and I love music as well and it really gave my something to focus on during contractions and to pass the time.
However, you might want to bring your own small radio and CDs because stations these days tend to play the same 4 songs over and over and that will get extremely frustrating after 5 hours.
the hospital will probably allow it but as for me I was so annoyed with any sound during my contractions that I actually asked everyone to just stop talking while I was having one. After my epidural it was better but I don’t think music would have let me concentrate on pushing because it’s really hard to tell when you are contracting with an epidural. But you can always turn it off if it becomes annoying for you… So go for it =)
i will have my ipod with me. Not sure if I’ll bring the speakers because i want something like led zeppelin, pearl jam, coldplay and basically LOUD music. it helps me when I’m under pressure lol
I had never heard of this before, but I was intrigued. Every hospital has different policies, I’m sure, but I couldn’t find anything specific at any of the hospitals in my area. However, I would consider the website below to be reliable and they suggest including music in your birthing plan, so apparently it can be done most of the time. Hope this helps!
