I developed my list by listening to Christian radio over the
course of 9 months. I looked for gentle Jesus music that would help keep my focus on love and calm rather than pain and fear. Using the app SoundHound, I’d let my phone listen to
identify the title and singer, which also kept a list of my searches. Then I
downloaded the songs onto my iPhone at a convenient time. I also plugged my
most favorite songs into Pandora and found some similar songs that I loved that
way, too. When I went into labor, I only had a little over an hour of music,
which isn’t really enough, so I’ve been adding to the list for next time. I
avoided drums and live versions for labor music – you might like the applause
for your pushing music, though! I decided not to use Pandora for L and D because the ads are loud and distracting, plus I wanted very specific songs. If you wanted to use Pandora, I would make sure that you got the ad-free version.
