If you're pregnant your brain may have a whirlwind of thoughts and things you're trying to think of to get ready for babys' arrival.
However it's really useful to know how to work with your body and what hormones help bring baby along...
❤️OXYTOCIN❤️
Oxytocin is the love hormone which works wonders through pregnancy and birth. Oxytocin is the power behind your surges (contractions) in labour, and if you have a caesarean it helps with your bonding of baby - no matter what birth type you have - Oxytocin is a major winner ✨️
😃ENDORPHINS😃
Endorphins also play a vital role in birth - they're your happy, feel good hormone. It is also your bodies NATURAL painkiller which through birth, will build up over time working together with Oxytocin.
What counteracts both of these wonderful hormones is adrenaline 🚫 Your bodies fight/flight - your alert response, the unknown and fear which tenses your body.
Don't get me wrong, adrenaline has it's special place just before baby is born for that last release of energy, but other than that it has no place for labour and birth.
