Doula

Answer: A - The release of adrenaline and noradrenaline is increased when a mother feels threatened. This surge can activate the sympathetic nervous system, and slow blood flow to non-essential organs (like the uterus and fetus). These hormones act differently at the moment of birth, however, when they activate the "fetal ejection reflex" and aid in the baby's delivery. Hormones of relaxation and euphoria include oxytocin and endorphins. Milk production is stimulated by the hormone prolactin.
