Re: [ozmidwifery] Birthing Music

How strange - my daughter was born to Tony O'Connor - Rainforest. Sounds like he's a popular birth choice, but I agree that it's whatever does it for you - some of the music my clients have chosen has not been to my taste, or IMO suitable to the birthing mood, but it was their choice, not mine.
