''Two little boys'' by Rolf Harris when my first child was born in November 1969.I used to sing into him.Pity it was that singer Bute were ignorant about him them.
When I was pregnant with him it was song sung by Peter with a surname I cannot remember. It was about a girl called Marie Claire and I was going to give my baby, if a girl,that name. No gender scans in those days!

Pink princess was it Peter Sarstedt?

When I was pregnant with DS in 1975 the song I most remember is "You're having my baby" by Paul Anka & Odia Coates.

Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Boy George was the number 1 song when I had my first DD. We had chosen her name before she was born (we had a boy's name lined up as well!) and the morning after, my DH switched on the radio and the song that was being played was "Louise" by Phil Everly - the same name we had chosen! It wasn't a particularly big hit either so wasn't played all the time.

I was stuck in the house, baby blues in full spate, feeling very down that I couldn't get to the Balloon Fiesta and watching them instead from the upstairs window. Elton John's It's No Sacrifice came on the radio and put it all into perspective for me.
Apparently as a baby my Mum said Fingal's Cave always worked to stop me yowling and settle me down!

Marie Claire was where do you go to my lovely by Peter Starstedt

It was where do you go yo my lovely byPeter Starstedt.

He says look into my eyes Marie Clare and remember just who you are

The song I associated with my eldest son birth is perfect by fairground attraction

The Seekers ‘I’ll never find another you’

My daughter was born in September 75 and the following year Brotherhood of Man won the Eurovision with Save Your Kisses for Me. It was on the radio a lot and I used to sing along to it (badly I have no doubt) but she used to pick up on it and smile. If I ever hear it these days it takes me straight back to our flat in Liverpool with our smiley baby girl.

That's a great one!

First baby in 1962 I was in hospital for weeks and DH bought me a small red radio as hospital radio wasn’t on in the day, the one song played over and over was Frank Ifield, I Remember Youuuuu, all us Mums used to join in with the Yooouuu, then we had I Saw a mouse Windmill in Old Amsterdam who sang that Ronnie Hilton what happened to him, who remembers Right said Fred, Bernard Crippen, and Acker Bilk, but my favourite was When my Little Girl Is Smiling, Craig Douglas, yes my little girl was when she arrived safely. Lovely memories.

Bernard Cribbens?

Yes Celieanne86 these were the songs I grew up listening to especially I saw A Mouse ( where? There on the stairs right there….and Bernard Cribbins as well as The Beatles/ Beach Boys et al.
There was a very diverse range of “pop” music then with fun/novelty songs played regularly on radio.
Way too serious and self conscious nowdays

Exactly the same song for me. My daughter was born in Nov 1975 and is still lovely xx

Bernard Cribbens?

Actually it's Bernard Cribbins.

Am I the only one on here that has no idea what was playing lol. But I do recall Pope was shot the same day my daughter was born 1981.

I was feeling very nauseous in early 1979 when expecting my first baby. Unfortunately whenever I hear Tubeway Army’s Are Friends Electric and The Knack’s My Sherona I feel ill all over again and have to switch the radio off. More happily, NCT classes suggested using a song to tap your fingers to during extreme labour (did that actually help anyone?) and I was going to use Day Trip to Bangor by Fiddler’s Dram. Thankfully I had such a swift labour I didn’t get to try it out.

I was living abroad when I had my first child. Far too young at 19 but holiday romances happen

Hey Little Girl by Icehouse played constantly. I'd dance along with my beautiful girl to this great tune. One hit wonder i think.

Thanks for the reminder, I've just been playing it now. My 44 year old daughter is a bit big to be twirled around to it now!

Beautiful Boy by John Lennon was my firstborn boy's lullaby. Also for my 2nd boy and subsequently, 3 grandsons too! Takes me straight back to those first days whenever I hear it.

Its been lovely to read your music memories.
Thankyou ladies

Loving you is easy cos you’re beautiful….1975, my first daughter.

Our first son was born the night ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo so I have always had a soft spot for them. Went to see the show recently, their music still hits the spot

Thankyou @Mt61 and @Staceygrove
