GUEST,DoualLady Birthing Songs- Are there any? (29) RE: Birthing Songs- Are there any? 16 Jul 13

Thanks for your input everyone.

I realized after I posted , that my question was sort of general. Gibb Sahib, that is exactly what I am talking about. I was thinking of English folk tradition, but I am interested in any that exist because I feel there are basic sounds that would be pleasing or calming or empowering to a woman who is laboring.

It has occurred to me that maybe they would be chanties. I will look into Punjab tradition. I love the intricate rhythms of Indian music I have heard, they are so smooth. I don't know if that would be Punjab music.

Joybell, laboring music can certainly be a song that she connects with.
