Doula

Answer: B - An environment that promotes feelings of safety and privacy can aid the natural hormone progression necessary for labor. Ways to achieve this environment include dimming lights, quiet music, limited interruptions, etc. A mother typically feels most comfortable at home, so should remain there as long a possible during labor. The following practices all interfere with the hormones of labor, birth, and postpartum: induction, augmentation, narcotic painkillers, epidural anesthesia, Caesarean birth, and early mother baby separation.
