About this listen

Natural birth isn't about "toughing it out"; it's about working with your body's own design. In this calm, myth-busting session, Dianne explains how undisturbed labour hormones drive progress, comfort and safety—and what parents and partners can do to protect that hormonal flow at home or on a busy ward.

Discover the science behind natural birth and learn practical strategies to support your body's incredible birthing capabilities. Dianne shares evidence-based insights that will empower you to make informed decisions about your birth experience.

We discuss:

  • How oxytocin, endorphins and adrenaline interact during labour
  • Simple ways to reduce disturbance (and why it matters)
  • When "doing less" actually improves outcomes
  • The hormonal blueprint for physiological birth
  • Creating optimal conditions for natural labour
  • Confidence tips for first-timers and VBACs
  • Understanding your body's natural pain management system
  • Partner roles in protecting the birth space
