When oxytocin is released, it stimulates uterine contractions, and these uterine contractions, in turn, cause more oxytocin to be released; this is what causes the increase in both the intensity and frequency of contractions and enables a mother to carry out vaginal delivery completely.

The two main actions of oxytocin in the body are contraction of the womba (uterus) during childbirth and lactation. Oxytocin stimulates the uterine muscles to contract and also increases production of prostaglandins, which increase the contractions further.
