Labor Playlist for a Worship-Filled Birth
Are you getting ready to do the hard work of giving birth? Consider creating a labor playlist for a worship-filled birth.
Creating a labor playlist was one of the best things we did for the birth of my little girl. Together with my husband we searched our music repertoire and downloaded new music to create the perfect labor playlist.
To be honest, this playlist didn’t just help me during labor, but it helped me before and after as well. On hard days when I feel like the walls are caving in (or was that just my two year old jumping off the table again?) and I’m running on fumes, I pull out this playlist again to help me turn my eyes to Jesus. So, maybe I should have called this the “Anxiety Release Playlist” because that’s how I use it now.
Anyway, whatever your need for listening to truth, perhaps you’ll find this playlist helpful!

I had Sara Grove’s album “Add to the Beauty” on repeat during both Silas’ and Amelia’s birth, in fact Amelia was born to the song Add to the Beauty which I felt was so fitting. Jack came so fast I never had a chance to turn on my music at the hospital! ๐
Hi Leigh Ann! I must admit when I first heard about playing music during labor, it sounded so beautiful. Until I wondered if that was weird (for some reason I get self-conscious about the dumbest things). I didn’t do it for my first kiddo, but now am considering it for my next. Thanks for sharing this playlist! Some of the choices were hilarious… “Empty Me”? LOL!

Right? I thought that was a good one. haha! I usually put the music in my earbuds so it’s just ME listening. That took the weirdness away for me. ๐
