Birth is Inherently Safe - 5 of 10

Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim

In the last five articles we discussed the Mother's Role to maximize the infinite safety nets built into the childbearing year by Allah (SWT), as well as the First, Second, Third, and Fourth of ten of these safety nets that we will explore in this series. This time we'll take a look at Relaxin hormone, which was also mentioned for its effects of softening the lower segment of the uterus in the First of ten safety nets discussed. 


Beyond relaxing the isthmus (see the First of Ten safety nets) the rush of Relaxin hormone in late pregnancy also serves to loosen the many joints of the maternal hips. This allows for the mother's pelvis to expand and open for the passing baby. Additionally the baby's skull is not solid until about two years of age, which allows the various plates of the skull to overlap as the baby's head "moulds" to fit through the mother's accommodating pelvis, Subhan'Allah. 



Allah truly is the best of Creators and has perfectly orchestrated the mother's and baby's bodies to work together during the birth process.
