labor and delivery playlist

[Anonymous]

S/O from other thread - give me song ideas! I like very energizing and fun top 40 type stuff - not calming meditative type stuff. Think of a great workout class type music. The problem I had last baby was that a lot of that type music has a lot of explicit language which was super awkward for the 2 hours of pushing in an otherwise silent delivery room at 4am. Think like a dmx song coming on and 4 people silently listening to the lyrics between contractions - so awkward. So give me ideas that aren't awkward please!

Have you had a child before? Honestly you won't notice or care about music in the background.

You'll be too caught up in the throes of labor to even hear what the nurse is telling you what to do/counting.

Yeah I mean you do you but I wouldn’t have known what was playing.

I took a radio. My first was born to the music of a Bach concerto, and the second one, who came more quickly, was born to a radio show discussing decluttering. I remember both well!

OP here - as noted this is my second. I'm all about the epidural and after being in labor for 30+ hours upbeat music gave me the energy needed for 2 hours of pushing at 4AM. I remember loathing my husband for letting a john denver song come on, feeling very awkward in a dmx song that uses the N word a lot came up, and actually delivered my baby to a great song. I very much remember the music and needed it to get through the workout that is pushing.
