One thing that greatly helps promote the secretion of essential hormones for the smooth progress of your birth, and alleviates the intensity of contractions (particularly endorphins and oxytocin) is feeling calm and confident in your abilities, your body, and the birthing process.
This reduces the risk of fear, panic, and adrenaline rushes.
Adrenaline is, in a way, the antithesis of endorphins and oxytocin during labor.
It tends to slow down labor, or even make it stagnate, or stop, depending on its stage.

An effective way to ensure you are in a good state of mind and confident in your abilities is to condition your brain with positive affirmations!
This illustration will help put you in the right mindset in anticipation of your birth.

Also useful for midwives, doulas and other perinatal professionals to offer visualization and introspection tools to their clients.
