| 14 | <.jpg) “Here Comes the Sun” Named the Ultimate Birthing AnthemWhen it comes to individual tracks, The Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” tops the list as the most-played song on birth playlists. It’s an especially fitting anthem for new beginnings and sunny arrivals. Following close behind is Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide”, while Coldplay’s “Yellow” comes in third — perhaps not surprising for a band known for songs full of warmth and hope. Other popular picks include Elton John’s “Your Song”, John Legend’s “All of Me”, and Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” — a true mix of love, comfort and calm. Top 15 Songs to Give Birth To:.jpg) Why Music Means So Much During LabourGiving birth can be overwhelming, empowering, and beautiful — sometimes all at once. Music can help ground you through every contraction and every deep breath. Whether it’s the calm of Norah Jones’ Sunrise or the emotional lift of Here Comes the Sun, the right playlist can transform your birth experience into something truly memorable. “Preparing for labour involves everything from packing the hospital bag to creating a playlist that helps soundtrack the experience,” says Cameron Appel, Vice CEO at iCandy. “Music plays such an important role in our lives, and the results show that timeless, feel-good songs are what many parents turn to for comfort and inspiration.” About the StudyThe research analysed 1,860 Spotify playlists linked to “getting through labour”, “giving birth”, and “C-section”. Data was collected and verified in October 2025.

If you’re trying to conceive (TTC), you probably know that there are certain foods and nutrients that become especially important once you’re pregnant. But nutrition plays a vital role even when trying to conceive, much like laying a strong foundation before constructing a house.Certain nutrients create that foundation by supporting egg and sperm health (yes, nutrition matters for both partners), hormone balance and creating a hospitable environment for a fertilized egg to implant. In fact, studies show that certain nutrients can help increase fertility and improve success rates for both natural conception and fertility treatments. In other words, nutrition is a key player in the TTC journey, but getting the right nutrients in the right quantities can be tricky. That’s where supplements come in. Just as you’d take a multivitamin to fill in nutritional gaps for optimal health, fertility supplements can give you that extra nutrient boost.
