Childbirth is a profound physical, psychological and emotional event in a woman’s or birthing-person’s life. It is a time of new beginnings but also significant change when awareness and support of perinatal mental health is paramount. Carefully listening to and, where possible, realizing a person’s birth preferences is key in promoting perinatal well being.
Women and birthing people often choose to use music during childbirth, yet the health benefits arising from this non-pharmacological intervention are less well known. This presentation will provide an overview of the various roles and outcomes of music-listening in childbirth.
It will also feature discussion of two case vignettes to illustrate the use of this practice in a public maternity hospital context. To conclude, key considerations and practical recommendations will be shared for healthcare practitioners about the utilization of music-listening to support the childbirth experience.
