Your Birth Environment: Setting the Vibe for Oxytocin
Your environment might be the single most important factor in your birth experience. In this episode, we explore why oxytocin, the hormone driving your labour, thrives on privacy, darkness, warmth and safety, and how to create that space wherever you're birthing, at home, hospital or even in theatre. We also cover practical essentials like staying nourished and warm, the birth partner's role as guardian of the space, and small changes that make a real difference to how your labour progresses.
