The ideal childbirth playlist! - Élhée

The ideal childbirth playlist!

Listening to music to relax during labor, or to give you a boost of energy when you're pushing, is a great idea that many expectant mothers are already embracing. Childbirth can sometimes be a long and painful process, so anything you can do to soothe yourself is a good idea.  

Music has many virtues, both psychic and psychological. Listening to music stimulates the production of endorphins, the famous feel-good molecule that reduces pain. Soft music reduces adrenalin and helps you to relax and calm down. Conversely, more upbeat music will give you all the energy you need during the push. 

 

On the playlist:

Gentle songs to help you relax and manage contractions during labor, and punchy ones to accompany you during the final moments of labor.

 

 

  1. Xavier Rudd - Follow the sun 
  2. Ben Howard - Only love
