🌸Understanding Hormones During Labor🌸
Labor is a complex dance of hormones that play a vital role in the birthing process. Key hormones like oxytocin, often called the “love hormone,” help regulate contractions and promote feelings of calm and connection. Conversely, stress (or a perceived stressor) can trigger adrenaline, which can disrupt this natural flow.
By understanding your hormones and supporting your body, through techniques like hypnobirthing, you can enhance relaxation and encourage optimal contraction patterns. This awareness can lead to a smoother, more empowering labor experience. Embrace the power of your body’s hormones!

To all expectant mums out there: have a wonderful Mother's Day!

10/05/2024

You have gone over your 40 weeks. You’ll probably feel heavy and tired and ready to meet your baby…. Waiting is best if there is no medical reason to induce. But there are definitely ways to encourage your bub and body to start moving.

Here are some ease do-it-at-home tricks that may be helpful.

Move around!
Walk while you’re on the phone, take a nice walk around the, move up and down the stairs… Movement means gravity and this may help move bub deeper into the birth canal. Your cervix experiences the extra pressure and could start dilating sooner. Beware not to get too ambitious with your exercises. You will need your energy later on 😊.

Enjoy that chemistry
The beauty of s*x is that it releases hormones from both partners, that can be helpful to kickstart labour. The hormone present in semen, prostaglandins, can stimulate contractions. And the hormones when experiencing an or**sm, oxytocin, have the same effect. Only have s*x at this stage when your waters are intact.

Relaxation
Our hypnobirthing classes are all about relaxation techniques. We teach, among others, breathing techniques, light touch massage, self-hypnosis, and visualisation. The latter has worked for others, to induce labour. Visualising your body going into labour.

Choose your food
Some of you will have heard that spicy food is helpful to get that birth on the way. However, the jury is out on this one. It certainly can’t hurt, but it may not stimulate labour. There are other foods that have helped others, such as pineapple and licorice. Make sure you have tried these foods before, to avoid any adverse reactions. That would not be the best timing…

For this and other great things to learn before giving birth, join our hypnobirthing classes!

We can't wait to help you write your positive birth stories!

03/05/2024

We call it the third stage of labour: the birthing of the placenta (after-birth). This beautiful organ made sure your baby was looked after throughout your pregnancy. It can be helpful to know what to expect. Let’s talk about it.

As long as the umbilical cord is attached to your newborn baby, the placenta is still providing bub with oxygen and blood. Once the cord has stopped pulsing and looks white (and everything else is going fine), the care provider will clamp it, and your birth partner will be able to cut the cord.

Now, the placenta is ready to come out. Straight after giving birth to bub, the placenta comes away from the uterus wall and moves into the birth canal. Whilst you hold your baby, and this beautiful hormone oxytocin is released (especially when bub latches to your breast for the first time), the uterine starts to contract. These contractions will feel a lot milder than the ones you have just experienced. This will slowly detach the placenta, sometimes with a little help and guidance from the midwife, and she may ask you to gently push. You will feel the weight of the placenta in your va**na and feel the urge to push it out.

A placenta, once it’s born, looks like a big round flat cake, about 20cm wide and 2.5 thick in the middle. On average it weighs 700 grams. One side is textured and dark red in colour . The other side is smooth and looks like the ‘tree of life’ because of the blood vessels running through it.

Once it’s out, there will be a careful check of your va**na, v***a and perineum for any tears of grazes to see if any stitches are required.

Remember that your birth story is YOUR STORY, and it doesn’t matter how you came to this moment, holding your baby. There is no right or wrong. You did it.
