Labor is as much an emotional experience as it is a physical one. While your body knows how to birth, emotions like fear, stress, and self-doubt can sometimes slow progress or make contractions feel more intense. The truth is—your mindset matters. At Your Family Chiropractic, we help expecting moms prepare for labor by understanding how the nervous system, stress response, and emotions work together during birth. In this post, we’ll explore how fear, stress, and lack of trust can interfere with your body’s natural rhythm—and share practical tools to help you stay calm, confident, and connected throughout your birth journey.
