The Science of Labor: Stages and Hormones


Listen Later

💡 Did you know that labor isn’t just a physical process—it’s a hormonal event?

In this episode of the Holistic Mama Podcast, we’re breaking down the science of labor—what’s really happening in your body during birth and how you can work with it instead of against it.

✨ Inside this episode, we cover:
✔️ The hormonal dance of labor—how oxytocin, endorphins, adrenaline, and prolactin shape your birth experience
✔️ The three stages of labor, what to expect, and how to navigate each one
✔️ The fear-tension-pain cycle and how to break it for an easier, more empowering labor
✔️ Practical strategies to keep oxytocin flowing and trust the natural process of birth

Your body was designed for this. ✨ Understanding labor means stepping into it with confidence and trust.
