Pregnancy Prep-The Playlist

In prepping for my labor and delivery, I have decided one very important thing:

I need some good tunes!

Silence makes me a bit crazy. I did love hearing baby girl on the monitor kicking and overall rocking it while I was in for observation, but the rest of the time I was going absolutely nuts.

While I was on my hospital tour/birthing class yesterday, I found out that I can have some tunes set through the speakers in my labor room-sweet! I have no idea how I missed that both times I've been in the labor rooms for observation, but oh well.

Also, I have Spotify Premium just for this purpose. It allows me to listen to all of my music without commercials and make multiple playlists.

I've broken my playlist into three main parts:

Early labor:
For early labor I'm going "chill". I need something to help me calm, and music is great for chilling me out.
Some of the selections include:
Iron and Wine Naked as We Came
Ed Sheeran Kiss me
The Head and the Heart Rivers and Roads

Active labor:
Still chill, but with a bit more beat...
Some of the selections include:
Jeremy Messersmith Ghost
Royal Teeth Wild
Vance Joy Play with Fire

Transition:
I'm choosing to see birthing as a triathlon, and transition/pushing are definitely the "run" for me.
With that in mind, some selections include:
NONONOs Pumping Blood
Matt and Kim Let's Go
Passion Pit Take a Walk
Crystal Fighters You and I

Each playlist is about an hour to an hour and a half long. I know it won't get me through the whole thing, but it is a start!

Obviously, this isn't a complete list, but it was a lovely way for me to spend my Sunday afternoon.
If you're interested in a complete list, let me know and I'll send it to you.
