Doula

Answer: A - Insulin is a pancreatic hormone responsible for the regulation of sugar. Oxytocin is the hormone that causes uterine contractions - it is also known as "the hormone of love." Endorphins are natural pain relievers that increase as contraction intensity increases. Adrenaline is a fight-or-flight hormone that can interfere with labor progress if the mother is fearful of the birth process. But it is also a necessary component of the labor "hormone cocktail," as it activates the fetal ejection reflex at the time of birth.
