Music and Intimacy During Labor

Oxytocin plays a vital role during labor and delivery. As baby moves down the birth canal, the brain receives a message to release the hormone into the bloodstream, making contractions stronger.

Oxytocin is also released during intimate moments between partners.

Try using music to encourage intimacy with your partner during labor. This will not only help you connect on a deep emotional level, but will also help move along the physiological process!

🤍Listen to the playlist that you created together during your pregnancy!
🤍Slow dance to your special song!
🤍Sing your womb song together while awaiting the arrival of your baby!
