Touch can be so important during birth! Partners, practice your massage skills BEFORE labor begins to see what your touches are preferred or hated! Another bonus, your pregnant mama will love being practiced on and all the relaxation! Sign up for Lamaze to learn more about how to feel comfortable during labor!

Yes it's true! Pitocin and Oxytocin are not the same! Pitocin is often offered to induce labor or make labor go faster. Know the facts and make informed decisions!

❤️Oxytocin: Commonly known as the "love hormone" which is integral during the birthing process as it creates contractions in the uterus to create dilation.
+Crosses the blood brain barrier, which then allows for beta-endorphins to be released (natural pain reliever!)
+Causes spontaneous, natural contractions, which allow for gradual labor progression
+Naturally regulated by the body based on need

💉Pitocin: A synthetic form of oxytocin, used medically to induce or augment labor and control postpartum bleeding.
-Does not cross the blood brain barrier, so do not experience natural beta-endorphin rush (one of the reasons many people say Pitocin contracts are more painful than natural contractions)
-Can cause stronger, more frequent contractions, sometimes leading to increased pain and stress on the baby.
-May increase the risk of hyperstimulation, fetal distress, uterine rupture, and other complications.

DM me about taking Lamaze on 2-14-26 and 2-15-26 to arm yourself with knowledge in order to have an empowering birth experience!
