Tell us: did you compile an unusual birthing playlist to help you give birth?

The most popular childbirth playlists feature songs including Just Breathe by Pearl Jam or Let It Go by James Bay. But some women choose more unusual soundtracks to welcome their child into the world, such as nature noises.

Did you compile a playlist that caused a few raised eyebrows in the birthing suite? We’d love to hear what was on it, why you chose it, what reaction it got from your partner/midwife/doctor.

Did the soundtrack help you during childbirth (and can your baby now only go to sleep to the sound of cows lowing or frogs croaking)?
