What to Do When You Hit a Wall in Labor – Mothering

By

This is a really great read.

“In labor, fighting the wall causes pain and difficulty. When you turn on “fight,” your body turns off birth.

“Many labors are slowed by these walls. They may be emotional and completely invisible to everyone except the laboring mother. They may also be undesired variations of labor, interventions, really super freaking hard contractions, or someone in the room. The trick is to stay right here, right now, and fall through the wall.”

High Intervention Birth and Mother’s Mood

By

Some interesting results in this study.

“Natural oxytocin and synthetic oxytocin behave differently. Natural oxytocin, which is made by the body, is released in pulses into the circulation and directly into the brain. Pitocin, the synthetic version of oxytocin, is delivered by drip into the circulation. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier and consequently has no effect on the central nervous system. That being the case, it does not, and cannot, have a positive effect on mental health.”
