Today I am welcoming you to another tutorial on steemit, it is all about a Hormone called Oxytocin, Oxytocin is a love Hormone that plays an important role during sex, pregnancy, labour and breast feeding, in this post you are going to find out why a woman easily forget her pain after delivering her baby and why babies stop crying as the doctor hand them over to their mother.

• Are you a mother or intended mother?

• Have you ever wondered how a woman gave birth to 20 children despite the pain of labour?

• Why do babies always look for their mothers and able to different you and their mother even the first day?

As you read through this post, you will find answers to the 3 questions above but before that let's know what Oxytocin is.

Just as mentioned earlier in this post oxytocin is a love Hormone or a bond Hormone, ones is created hypothalamus, it realeases to the blood stream and help in producing breast milk and reproduction itself, it is oxytocin Hormone that helps a pregnant woman to be very careful to protect her unborn child from danger.

You will agree with me that it is hard for a pregnant woman to fall face down no matter how serious the situation is, the first thing that will come to her heart is her baby, this is because oxytocin also serve as a chemical messenger in the brain, it is very high in all mammals both animals and Human

Research shows that animals with high oxytocin do care for their babies more than those without.

Now let's talk on the bond between the mother and the baby, if you are a mother, you will agree with me that, immediately you gave birth to a baby, your doctor will prepare the body and place him on your heart, why?

Oxytocin Hormone is released immediately you have skin to skin contact with your baby, gradually the pain after labour will be less and the baby will stop crying, that is what makes oxytocin a bond Hormone and when you start to breastfeed the baby,the Hormone will release more, it will gradually move round your body and your baby

you will see yourself caring for the baby more than any other thing, this Hormone is not only on mother's, Father's do have it too so a father need to carry his baby for skin to skin contact so that the baby will be fond of him from that early age

from what we have learn about Oxytocin Hormone, do you now see why some ladies who do like carrying babies when they are unkept now suck the nose of their own babies, this is because of the skin to skin contact after labour as the Oxytocin Hormone is released and keep realeasing as she breastfeed the baby was.

In conclusion, life was created and design to be enjoyed by our creator, he made everything with love, all Hormones work in a very dynamic way

Thank you all for finding time to read through and learn wonders of Oxytocin Hormone..
