I had made a quilt for the new baby, and during early stages it was nice to hold or have near me. As things progressed, I put it across the room to focus on and help me stay relaxed. I am very into the Native American Culture, so I decided, for relaxation, to bring a CD of Native American Flute music. Flute music is said to be a very relaxing form of relaxation.

Don't play the music loud. Also, flute music is good music to play for the baby before and after it's born. I didn't bring anything like a tape player, but I did bring me family. They were able to help me out with keeping my mind on working through the contractions. I would recommend and do it again with my second child, having someone else there, only if you have no problems with modesty.
