Lost In Motherhood With Amy Lowney
31. Birth and the Intrinsic Role of the Nervous System
I’m BEYOND excited to chat with you today about a topic I’m super passionate about, which is the nervous system!
Not only is this the incredible work I get to do with others every day (especially mothers and babies), but I’ve also been working on healing my own nervous system over the last few years. I’ve learned how and why I respond to things in the way that I do, which ultimately, goes back to how it developed in my childhood and adolescent years.
The nervous system is very complex, and all of our life experiences leave an imprint on our nervous system, which affects how we operate and function day to day. The nervous system REALLY comes into play when we’re talking about birth, because birth is such an intense and vulnerable experience. Yes, the intrinsic role of the nervous system in birth is extremely powerful!
In this episode about birth and the intrinsic role of the nervous system, I share:
- How my first birth experience left a major imprint on me and my nervous system
- What the nervous system actually is, and what it’s responsible for in birth
- The different ways that your autonomic nervous system (the sympathetic and parasympathetic) activates and responds in birth
- Two parts of the social nervous system, and how they show up in birth
- Tools to support you on your journey to regulating your nervous system, both in and out of birth
- Giving yourself daily time and space to reflect on your current beliefs, fears, and outdated programming, so you can move forward in peace
