Answer:
Parturition is the process of giving birth to a baby as the development of the foetus gets completed in the mother's womb.
Progesterone withdrawal, increased estrogen bioavailability, corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) and neuroendocrine mediators rise, increased prostaglandins, and oxytocin are key events in parturition.

Answer:
Parturution is the process wherein a fully developed foetus, from the mother’s womb, is expelled out after the completion of the gestation period.
There are two critical hormones that are involved in the induction of parturition, they are:
Oxytocin – It directs the full-term foetus towards the birth canal, as it causes the contraction of the smooth muscles of the myometrium of the uterus leading the baby to be expelled out
Relaxin – It relaxes the pelvic ligaments, widening the pelvis to assist in an easier childbirth
