How Oxytocin and Endorphins Work Together

Here’s where the magic really happens:
As oxytocin ramps up contractions, the body releases endorphins to balance the intensity.

It’s a perfect feedback loop:

• Stronger contractions → more endorphins → better coping

• More endorphins → more relaxed body → more oxytocin

• More oxytocin → stronger labor → the cycle continues

This beautiful balance helps you stay present and grounded, even through the most intense waves.

Music plays a big part in setting the tone in your labor space, picking the music that will support you can be a really fun way to prepare for your birth!
