💗Happy Valentine’s Day 💗
💕On a day when oxytocin is naturally flowing — in our love, our connection, our hugs, our kisses — let’s remember that this same powerful hormone is at the heart of birth, too.
💕Oxytocin is the hormone of love, safety, trust, and bonding and it drives labour!
💕It thrives in warmth, privacy, gentle touch, kind words, dim lighting, feeling protected, and being surrounded by people who make you feel calm and comfortable.
💕Today, when oxytocin is at its high, let’s look at how we can keep the oxytocin flowing in birth. Because birth is hormonal. And when we nurture love, safety, and connection, we nurture oxytocin and we keep labour progressing smoothly.
💕The more we protect the environment, the more we protect the hormone. And the more we protect the hormone, the more we support physiological birth.
💕 Love is powerful. And so is birth. 💕
💗 Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy the oxytocin today and in birth 💗
