THE PODCAST
That powerful activation of the reward and pleasure centres... It's what I call Ecstatic Birth. Mother nature wants you to have this incredible euphoric ecstasy when you meet your baby for the first time, because that's what's going to guarantee, in biological terms, the survival of the species. The dopamine centres in the brain that get switched on reward and motivate the mother to take care of the baby.
