Music has been proven to help mum and baby during labour and birth
Research has shown that music can help reduce pain, regulate breathing, and positively influence your emotions and hormones.
It can serve as a great distraction when you’re in labour and offers mum some control over their environment.
Whether you’re waiting to welcome your baby any day now, halfway through your pregnancy, or just found out you’re expecting, music can help you connect to this special time in your life as it helps to reinforce memories.
We’ve curated a special list of songs that are not only relaxing but hold special lyrics that can only describe the love between a parent and their child.
It also works if you just enjoy a relaxing playlist.
