Pregnancy Playlist

I am planning to make a Spotify playlist for labour/birth but I am a bit stuck for choices.
I donโ€™t know whether to put calming music ๐Ÿ˜‚ or put on my feel good happy tunes. I imagine the pain will most likely require the calm energy. Anyone have any experience with this? โœŒ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜Œ

I had an upbeat playlist, a romantic songs playlist for me and my hubby to slow dance too and a calming playlist of mediations and Hypnobirthing tracks

What if you make 2 playlists in case? That way you can switch between too, depending on which mood booster you feel you need at the time?

My playlist saved me lol but I also had a c section so itโ€™s just numbness and anxiety! Anywho, I played music for days up to it and anything that immediately made me want to dance a little, went on the playlist. The people in the room also enjoyed it ha

Try Sticky Fingers. They're a Sydney based band and majority of their stuff is smooth easy listening. Listen to Napalm. For some reason with my pregnancy hormones this song makes me cry everytime. Ive made a playlist for when my daughter's born to help her fall asleep. I've been playing it for months in hopes she can hear it from inside and get used to it. I hate white noise.

I made 2 playlists but only ended up listening to my calm/chill one. Make sure you put more than 2 hours worth of songs in, my poor partner had to listen to the same songs over and over and over again ๐Ÿ˜‚

I went into hospital completely unprepared when it came to a playlist. My partner found someone elseโ€™s playlist on Spotify whilst in the birthing suite that was fantastic and we still listen to it today. Labour and birth vibes -Lucy Denny is great. ๐Ÿ’•

I started with more calming music but it soon turned in to all my feel good songs. I had a back up ultra calm instrumental playlist but it didnโ€™t go on. Just songs that made me happy & boosted my oxytocin!

Wait they let you open music in the labor room? This is new info. Is it just through the phone or is it a speaker they provide?

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone elseโ€™s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it canโ€™t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.
