Question
Is a woman in the delivery room, or after childbirth, allowed to listen to songs during Sefirat HaOmer?
Answer
Shalom u-vracha
Before and close to childbirth, any means that calms her and settles her mind is permitted.
Therefore, if she needs to calm herself by means of music, it is permitted.
After childbirth, the law is as for any other sick person: if this helps to ease the pain or to distract her from it, it is permitted.
