Where there is love, there is oxytocin. ♥️ Did you know oxytocin literally means “fast childbirth” in Greek⁉️ Oxytocin = efficient contractions that progress labor. A few ways to increase oxytocin: ✅ Massage 💆‍♀️ ✅ Kissing ✅ Gentle touch ✅ Hug ✅ Feeling safe and secure ✅ Staying calm, full of peace ✅ Trust ✅ Laughter The greatest enemy of oxytocin is stress, fear, and anxiety 😨 These inhibit oxytocin and slow labor down. Don’t underestimate the power of a simple kiss 😘 or hug 🤗 during labor.

UPDATE: Her water broke 🙏🏽 we are in labor 🤰🏽🕺🏽😮‍💨We’re boosting #Oxytocin because it is the love hormone, it causes contractions, and has its highest peaks immediately after a woman gives birth and is breastfeeding. This creates a strong bond for both mom and baby and is probably more effective than all those squats I had her doing. But don’t tell her that.Day # 7 of #BABYBOOTCAMP - We are in labor 😂#pregnant #naturalbirth #blacklove #blackfamily #inlabor | Theo Estes
