(with Dr. Sarah Buckley, mom of 4, author, specialty in obstetrics & family planning) Your hormones will help you have an easier labor & birth. If you know how to let them help.

They might even be the MVP of your whole birth. Yeah sure, we always hear how they’re responsible for the tiredness, the constant  peeing, the food cravings, the “plug my nose and run from the room” food aversions, and of course gas. But did you know your baby’s hormones work seamlessly with yours in an unspoken partnership & they’re responsible for THE most important things that happen during pregnancy & birth? 

Dr. Sarah Buckley teaches how hormones help you & work like a dynamic & melodic symphony in your body to do some kick ace stuff- like give you pain relief, protect your baby during labor and maximize the efficiency of your contractions for a faster labor. Ah-mazing. And it all ‘just happens’.

You’ll Also Learn:

    1. How hormones switch on our instinctive mothering behaviors (we all have them, they just need to be turned on)
    2. Which hormone actually helps to alter your state of consciousness during birth! (yes!)
    3. How our “mothering hormones” soften us to prepare us for becoming a mama. Literally. You won’t believe it.
 

Dr. Buckley is a leading expert in childbirth & the mama of 4 kids. She trained as a family practice physician with specialties in obstetrics and family planning. Dr. Buckley is in high demand to lecture all over the world about birth and parenting. Check out Dr. Buckley’s website here & get her book hereShe’s an inspiring woman & loves teaching mamas (like you) how to give your baby the best start at birth . Dr. Buckley and family live in Brisbane, Australia.

    Wish I knew all this for my first. Glad I just learned it for my second! :) Agree with you Sarah, fascinating and super helpful. I’ll be making A LOT different decisions this time around. I missed out on most of this because I thought the hospital would take care of me. They didn’t. Looking back, I have no idea why I didn’t research more about my birth. I research everything else. Any first time moms out there, figure out what you want & learn how to make it happen…YOU CAN! Don’t be like me and just assume everything that happens is needed & is “the best”…so many times it’s just not. I’m glad I gave birth in a hospital, but I wish I would have spent more time finding a doctor would have SHOWN me before hand how he’d help me have a vaginal birth & looked into the hospitals c-section rates. Do it! You’ll be glad you did! DO NOT SETTLE! Don’t regret your birth like me! :)

      Oh yes. Great point Jamie. Giving birth where you feel comfortable is important but WHO you entrust with your baby’s entrance and your prenatal care is definitely a defining decision:) Thanks for sharing your experience.

  • sara

    i read her book and she’s awesome. she made me reconsider the whole birth experience

    • yourbabybooty

      That’s so cool Sara. What exactly are you reconsidering? Dr. Buckley is amazing. I love how she articulates all her knowledge:)

  • Christaki

    I am so relieved to have found babybooty from a comment feed on BabyCenter. This lecture has been so helpful. I cannot wait to share it with my husband. I am at 35 weeks, first pregnancy, and all this information is making me more comfortable. I was worrying much more not knowing what is happening with my body and my baby in womb and during labor. This is going to help me in the hospital and help my spouse help me during labor and delivery. Thanks so much BabyBooty and Dr. Buckley!!!
