I listened to Sinead O'Connor's album of old Irish songs (album is called Sean nos Nua) during my sons birth-over and over. It really resonated with me because she sings about mother earth, women, babies and the power in those things….I loved it and it buoyed me when I needed it.
Personally speaking- I think it is especially useful to listen to music that a woman is familiar with as it already has meaning for her, and if she has listened to it her babe may be comforted by the familiar tunes/sounds.
