mood music

So 5am and a call, 6cm...come and labor sit. hurray. Off to labor watch which includes being fed pandisol (hot buns) and chicken rice. Mum is looking good walking alot and so we chill and talk about...birth. After about 2 hours things aren't picking up much so our midwife in charge tells us to labor sit while she goes home to prep for prenatal day. About 10 minutes later our laboring mum decided to put on some music, i don't know what we were expecting but it wasn't avril levegnne...whatever the last name is. i think hearing avril belt it out at top volume helped get baby excited to come out cause one hour later he was coming fast. He came out screaming and screamed thru his bath and screamed and screamed and then just stopped and didn't even cry during his vit K shot. So i have become a beliver in angry girl music to stimulate labor. makes you wanna kick the pants out of contractions. So home birth and avril....my two favorite things today.
