"My homework for Lamaze class this week: start working on a &amp;amp;#8220;labor playlist.&amp;amp;#8221; Apparently, we&amp;amp;#8217;re going to want to set this event to music. But what kind of music does one play for dilating and effacing?! Back in the day, I was a pro at making the old mix tape. The one I made for my high school soccer team was legendary&amp;amp;#8212;Beastie Boys, The Who, Violent Femmes, Led Zeppelin, Sugarhill Gang and, if my memory serves me right, a little Snoop Dog. For our away games, we&amp;amp;#8217;d come out of the bus with the hoods of our warm-ups pulled up, blasting &amp;amp;#8220;Brass Monkey.&amp;amp;#8221; (Looking back, slightly inappropriate.) Fortunately, we had the skills to back up the attitude: We were state champs my junior year and ranked number one in the nation (sorry, had to brag for a minute). But I digress&amp;amp;#8230;. I have no idea what to expect from labor so how do I know what kind of tunes I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to want to jam to during the process? I imagine something soothing (Sorry, Snoop) and nothing too whiney or loud. For some reason I&amp;amp;#8217;m thinking Pink Floyd might be nice in there&amp;amp;#8212;if I go for the epidural, we could synchronize it to &amp;amp;#8220;Comfortably Numb!&amp;amp;#8221; Other than that, I&amp;amp;#8217;m at a complete loss and would love any suggestions you guys have for good, calming, not-too-annoying music that you think would be nice for me to listen to while a tiny human makes his way out of my body. Yikes! &amp;amp;#8212;Erin"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
