Birth Journeys Doula Care Services

Take care out there!!

Swedish oxytocin researcher Kristin Uvnas Moberg writes that the doula enhances oxytocin release which decreases stress reactions, fear, and anxiety, and increases contraction strength and effectiveness. In addition, the calming effect of the doula’s presence increases the mother’s own natural pain coping hormones (beta-endorphins), making labor feel less painful (Uvnas Moberg, 2014). - @ebbirth https://evidencebasedbirth.com/the-evidence-for-doulas/

This is a great representation of how a baby comes to the breast and the open mouth required to achieve a god latch!
