Giving birth is one of the most stressful – and painful – experiences women will ever endure, albeit mainly a joyful one too. But what better way to soothe one’s extremely furrowed brow in the delivery room than by listening to a few of your favourite tunes.
And what do most mothers-to-be prefer to have piped out of the speakers? A Rolling Stones classic, a bit of Motown perhaps, some warbling ballad, an Oasis smash, a bit of funk, maybe an easy listening gem?
Think again. ‘Only Love’ by singer-songwriter Ben Howard is the record of choice for expectant mums.
