I had a flash of inspiration the other day. You know what I would be so good at? I could totally do this for a living. I could come to the hospital with you when you're in labor and having your baby. My job would be to play appropriate music to get things going, to create a 'mood'. Picture this in your mind:
It's your big day, and you're in the hospital. You're laboring in the bed all attached to monitors. Your husband is coaching you through the Lamaze breathing. When a really hard contraction hits, you see me peek up from the foot of your bed blasting Is there Anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe! How cool would that be?
Or, say you had an epidural.... there's always Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb.
I could fit a song to any situation. What about a C section? I've got you covered: Cheryl Crow's The First Cut is the Deepest. I would be there with you through it all.
Fully dilated and ready to go? Salt and Peppa fits the bill with Push It.
Baby's crowning? A little Johnny Cash will set the mood.... "And it burns, burns, burns, the Ring of Fire! The Ring of Fire!"
How about that critical postpartum recovery time? Nothing would be better than Natalie Inbruglia's I'm Torn.
Think about it gals. This experience could be yours. Wouldn't that be AWESOME?!
