What is the secret formula for birth?

🧐Do you know the actually "not so secret" formula to birth? 🤔

It's quite simple really. We need to have the following to promote Oxytocin, which produces contractions, which brings us closer to having a baby! One easy way to think about this is to remember: "The environment that made the baby, will bring the baby". 😉

🏩🏠Safety: Where do you feel safe? Home or hospital? Who do you feel safe with? What makes you feel safe?

🤫Privacy: Surrounding yourself with limited positive supports. There is a saying: "For every person at a birth, adds an extra hour of labor before baby comes". Pick your birth team wisely!

🕯Dim lighting: Bright lights tend to put us on edge, whereas gentle soft lighting makes us feel more cozy and comfortable.

Birth is unpredictable and there is no guaranteed way to achieve the birth that you may desire, but by trying to put all these things into place, you can increase your odds of having a great birthing experience!
