OXYTOCIN

Oxytocin! The love hormone, responsible not only for making the babies but also for birthing them!

Oxytocin reduces stress, calms you down and helps with pain during labor. It also makes you feel more affectionate and selfless, and it’s main function in labor is to bring on contractions.

Any ideas how to evoke it? Yes, please:

  • Laughter (good movie, friends, stand up comedies)
  • Family or friends
  • Music
  • Walks in nature
  • Cuddles, hugs, kisses or sex
  • Photos and good memories
  • Cozy stay at home
  • Love acts (making or receiving gifts, being cared or caring)
  • ‍Meditation

Any other good ideas on your mind?
