This episode explains why hormones are central to God’s design for birth and how your environment can help or hinder them. You will learn that the same hormones God gave for marital intimacy are at work in labor, so the kind of privacy and safety that helps sex also helps birth. You will hear how darkness, calm, and steady support make contractions more effective. You will also hear how stress, bright lights, and constant interruptions can slow things down. Husbands are encouraged to protect the room so mom feels safe and cared for.
