Good thread Jessica. I'm planning to organize and take my IPod as well. Reading with interest.
I am planning on using my sports armband - I am thinking it will be the least likely to get in my way.
PICTURE - does anyone who has used an iPod have any suggestions or thoughts on that?

Do your hospital rooms have CD or DVD players? You might be able to do it that way also, I know ours had CD players.

Yeah... I don't think I would have wanted anything "on" me though, it was bad enough having all the monitors. But then, our nurses knew that the only family members allowed in my room were my mother and my husband. Everyone else was told to come visit us at home.

Yeah, thats just something I'll have to play by ear (haha I made a pun). Our nurses are pretty hands off (for which I am thankful) so I really dont think they'd run too much interference. Hubby will, but I'd prefer to just remove myself mentally from all that going on, thats my plan anyway.
As far as the sports band, I have one and dont really like it, I have a lanyard as well. For me I plan to take both, and just see how it goes.

I am going to have a heplock placed to keep them happy, but I am not going to be hooked up to anything unless something happens to warrant being hooked up to something, so an armband shouldn't be a big deal.
I'm hoping for that, but not holding my breath. The monitoring was necessary last time because of my blood pressure.

I will be at home so I am making a playlist on iTunes. I don't have an iPod.
So far I have:
You Raise Me Up by Selah
I Will Lift My Eyes by Bebo Norman
Thy Mercy My God by Caedmon's Call
How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds by Matthew Perryman Jones
What Wondrous Love is This by Matthew Smith
I am trying to think of more to add

Erin, just wanted to say that most nurses WILL run interference for you if you ask. It's part of their job.
Back to the regularly scheduled thread.....

I secretly wish I could be like THIS during labour ... but I won't be
That is amazingly beautiful! Worship music is so soothing to me... When I was in the hospital for wicked high blood pressure and a lung infection my youth pastor/worship leader sat in my room and played guitar and sang worship music with a friend for several hours. Several of the nurses commented on how it lowered my blood pressure when they had trouble getting me to respond to meds. I was pretty much zonked from the infection.

I think anything that is praise based would be great...and there are so many different styles of that that can really get you hoppin' and calmed down.....
Don't be surprised though if you forget it....I had music all picked out for my first two..but when it came down to getting to business.....I was to busy focusing to worry about music..and in fact it would have irritated me at that time.
ditto on telling nurses that once you start labor NO ONE is to visit except hubby (and anyone you WANT to visit)..they can make it sound quite official that no one can be there.

We don't have any family around (they are 12 + hours away) so there is no fear about people popping in to see us!! The doula and Paul will be the only ones there. I can't imagine people just "popping in" for fun - what horrible manners!!
(Though I should add, last year two people "popped in" to see me when I was admitted with Judah, but it was because Paul was hours away with work. I had known these people three weeks - from church - and I actually thought it was really, really sweet of them to come by. In total I had three near strangers in my room for several hours - one of them had driven me in - and their thoughtfulness and kindness in being there and waiting with me for Paul to come meant a lot. They were all clear that they would leave any time I wanted, and any time the doctor came in the man left the room ... having a man "pop in" was a little odd, but he and Paul had bonded, so I think he was stepping in for Paul at that time... I dunno. But I thought it was sweet near strangers would be so supportive.)

The other one I wish I could have listened to was my cassette of Psalms done by Vineyard music. Especially Ps 121.
