Let's take a trip into your body and learn about the longest nerve in your body and how it can guide and assist you during pregnancy, labor and birth. The vagus nerve is your body’s superpower and it’s used to counteract your fight/flight system. Now you definitely don't want to be in fight or flight when you are in labor. The vagus nerve helps you to remain calm when you are stressed and to know when you are no longer in danger. It helps you to stay in “rest and digest” which is a lot more conducive to progressing labor.

In this episode you'll learn what the vagus nerve is, how it works and why it's important. In our next episode you'll learn some valuable techniques to stimulate the vagus nerve and why comfort measures like breathing, massage and toning work.
