Did you know that the same elements that set the mood for romance can also create the perfect environment for labour and birth? In this episode, childbirth educator Lynne Bluff shares how lighting, music, scent, and a sense of safety can boost oxytocin – the love hormone – helping labour progress smoothly and making birth a more empowering experience. Whether you’re planning a hospital, home, or caesarean birth, small changes like dim lighting, soft sounds, and cozy textures can transform your space into a calming sanctuary. Learn how to create an oxytocin-rich environment that supports relaxation, bonding, and a more positive birth experience for both you and your baby.
