The role of your hormones during birth

Do you know about the role of your hormones during labour?

Did you feel a euphoric high after birth?

Endorphins are the body’s natural pain relievers. Powerful naturally-occurring opiates.

Beta-endorphin levels peak at birth and allow a woman to deal with the intensity of the experience and enter an altered state of consciousness.

Beta-endorphins are believed to be an incredible 20-50 times stronger than morphine and continue to have an important role after birth in breastfeeding and bonding with baby.

Isn’t the body incredible!

If you don’t know about the complex role of hormones during labour, this is a great area to do some research in. Learning about oxytocin, beta-endorphins, adrenaline and more can help you understand the amazing way your body is built to give birth.
