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?

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when theyโ€™re newborn? ๐Ÿ˜Š

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Early Labour?

Iโ€™m 34 weeks today, since 3am Iโ€™ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. Iโ€™ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

Iโ€™ve just been to my first growth scan as my bump was measuring small, for the lady to say that baby should be between 2pound 2ounces - 2pound 5ounces and my baby is measuring 2pound 15ounces which is above average, any one else has similar measurements?x
