Greta Sprenkeling explains that giving birth is a natural function of the female body. Just like our baby grows inside of us without intervention, our bodies will take care of the birth. Unassisted our body releases hormones that change everything during labor: mentally, physically and emotionally to prepare our body for the birth. The thinking brain will become dormant. The release of relaxin hormone softens our bones, ligaments and tissues enabling the pelvis to expand. Your baby's head molds and folds at the soft spot, on top of the skull. It is a perfect fit for the birth canal.
