Music for Labour & Birth

Music was an absolute must for me during labour!

A well crafted playlist for labour and birth can provide a multitude of benefits:

- familiar music helps you relax and feel in control

- reduces anxiety and assists in pain relief

-your music helps make the labour room (if not at home) your 'own'

- blocks out other distractions and unwanted sounds

-stimulates most areas of the brain including memory and feelings, 

increasing dopamine and endorphines. These happy hormones act as natural pain relief

- promotes movement and helps increase the motivation to keep moving.

-calming effect on breathing and blood pressure

-safe, low cost and effective comfort measure

-works well with other types of pain relief: continuous Doula support, aromatherapy, massage

Playlists that include an array of music, from chill out to more upbeat are recommended. But most importantly selecting music you love and enjoy!

Labour and Birth playlist compilations are included in all nested birth doula packages.
