Name the hormones responsible for the enhancing labor pain in female?
Answers
Answer:
Oxytocin is the hormone that causes the uterus to contract during labour. Levels of oxytocin gradually increase throughout labour, and are highest around the time of birth, when it contributes to the euphoria and receptiveness to her baby that a mother usually feels after an unmedicated birth.

Answer:
The process of childbirth is called parturition which is induced by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism involving cortisol, oestrogen and oxytocin.
Vigorous contraction of the uterus at the end of pregnancy causes expulsion or delivery of the foetus.This process of delivery of the foetus (childbirth) is called parturition. Parturition is induced by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism. The signals for parturition originate from the fully developed foetus and the placenta which induce mild uterine contractions called foetal ejection reflex.This triggers release of oxytocin from the maternal pituitary. Oxytocin acts on the uterine muscle and causes stronger uterine contractions which in turn stimulates further secretion of oxytocin.The stimulatory reflex between the uterine contraction and oxytocin secretion continues resulting in stronger and stronger contractions. This leads to expulsion of the baby out of the uterus through the birth canal – parturition.
