Neurobiology of childbirth, by Ibone Olza

For those who don't know her, Ibone Olza She is a child and perinatal psychiatrist. She is a professor at the Autonomous University of Madrid, a researcher and writer, is also the mother of three children and is very committed to respected childbirth and breastfeeding.

It is very worth listening to, and that is why today I want to leave you the video of a conference that you prepared last year for the First Virtual International Congress of Midwives on the birth neurobiology.

It is to see it calmly. It explains in a simple way what happens at the neurobiological level at the time of delivery, both to the mother and the baby.

It talks about what happens at birth, the stress of childbirth, the function of oxytocin, the hormonal imprint, the attachment bond, the importance of breastfeeding in the first hours of life, and about those physiological processes that undergo Mother and baby.

I recommend to all those who are going to be mothers who take the time to see and hear the talk of Ibone Olza because it is important to better understand what happens in childbirth, an instant that marks not only the beginning of a life, but a very special relationship between the mother and the newborn.
