Let’s talk more about this in birth class ❤️
www.wholemamamichigan.com/pregnancy

Your birth is run by 4 hormones. Here's exactly how each one works. 🧠

💛 Oxytocin — the engine
Powers every birth wave. Triggered by: safety, calm, darkness, trusted people.
Shut down by: fear, bright lights, strangers, feeling observed.

⚡ Adrenaline — the brake
Slows labor when activated too early. Triggered by: fear, cold, feeling unsafe.
A small surge in late labor is normal and helps with pushing.

🌿 Beta-endorphins — natural pain relief
Rise with each wave. The more relaxed you are, the more freely they flow.

🌊 Prolactin — the nesting hormone
Peaks in the golden hour. Triggered by: skin-to-skin, undisturbed first hour.
