It will also learn about the effect of music use on patient satisfaction. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does music use affect anxiety levels in parturients admitted to labor and delivery? Does music use affect pain levels in parturients admitted to labor and delivery? Does music use affect patient satisfaction in parturients admitted to labor and delivery?

Participants will: Listen to music or listen to no music for a 10 minute duration in the labor and delivery unit. Answer questions about anxiety and pain levels at a few different timepoints.
