Hello mamas and welcome back to the Pregnancy with Physio Laura podcast. 

Today we are kicking off with episode 2 in the Birth with Confidence series, diving into the main birth hormone – queen oxytocin and exactly why she is is important at keeping labour moving. In this episode we’ll discuss where most of the oxytocin receptors are located in the body, how to stimulate these centres and how to create a beautiful oxytocin recipe or bubble to kick labour up if it is stalled or prolonged.This is episode 2 of a 6 part Birth with Confidence series with the incredibly wise Rhea Dempsey, a birth worker, childbirth educator, counsellor and best-selling author of the incredible books Birth with Confidence and Beyond the Birth Plan. 

And don’t forget we have already released episode 1 in this series, where we chat with Rhea all about the natural hormonal dance between a mother and baby and the importance of keeping this beautiful process undisturbed. So make sure you go back and soak that episode up before we dive in deeper to oxytocin today!

Now let’s get into episode 2 of our 6 part Birth with Confidence series. You are going to love today’s chat with Rhea about how to stimulate the wonderful and powerful brith hormone that is queen oxytocin. Enjoy!
