Some women can experience orgasm during childbirth, which may be due to individual expectations. The pain of childbirth can be masked or combined with pleasure, and studies show that vaginal pain and tearing can be reduced. Oxytocin, the “love hormone,” is released during birth and can help prevent damage to the vaginal walls. Emotions and expectations play a key role, and planning a natural birth at home may be helpful.
Experts agree that a small minority of women are able to have an orgasm during childbirth. The experience is believed to be due in part to individual expectations. Women who experience orgasm during childbirth often believe that childbirth doesn’t have to be as painful as they’ve been raised to expect. These mothers work throughout their pregnancy to prepare for an orgasmic birth.
An orgasmic birth does not necessarily mean that you will be pain free. The pain of childbirth can instead be masked or combined with the pleasure of orgasm. Many women find that having an orgasm during childbirth makes natural childbirth easier. Studies have shown that vaginal pain and tearing can be reduced during this type of birth.
This pain reduction is usually associated with a hormone called oxytocin, which is the same hormone that is released when a woman orgasms during intercourse. This hormone is often called the love hormone and greatly influences how the female brain reacts to intense emotions. Oxytocin is also responsible for helping new mothers relax and bond with their babies while breastfeeding, which can be painful.
Oxytocin is released during birth when the Ferguson reflex occurs. This reflex refers to the positive reaction that the female body has to any type of pressure on the walls of the vagina or cervix. The release of oxytocin increases the rate of contractions, which in turn increases the amount of hormone that is released.
When a woman experiences an orgasm during childbirth, the blood flow to her vagina increases. You can also increase the amount of nutrients in that area. Studies have shown that these nutrients and blood flow can help prevent damage to the vaginal walls.
Emotions and expectations can play a key role in how an orgasmic birth is achieved. Many mothers prepare their mind and body during the nine months of pregnancy to be ready to have an orgasm during childbirth. According to many moms, mothers who are giving birth need to believe that an orgasm during childbirth is possible and be ready to relax and experience it. Stress and fear are known to increase stress hormones, which can help block the amount of oxytocin released.
For mothers to orgasm during childbirth, it can be helpful to plan natural births at home. Pain medications can block the way the mother’s body is reacting to the birth. Also, a normal hospital environment may not provide the correct stimulation to allow a woman to focus on achieving orgasm.
