Adrenocorticotropic Hormone or ACTH is the hormone released from the maternal pituitary glands, to the foetus. ACTH is a polypeptide tropic hormone.
It is essential for the stimulation and development of the adrenal cortex, which increases cortisol secretion, necessary for development of lungs in the foetus.

Solution :-
When the fetal development is completed, the Oxytocin Hormone is released by the posterior pituitary gland. Posterior pituitary gland does not produce hormones, but rather stores and secretes hormones produced by the Hypothalamus gland.
When the fetal development is completed, the peptide-derived hormone oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions and dilation of the cervix. Throughout most of pregnancy, oxytocin hormone receptors are not expressed at high levels in the uterus. Towards the end of pregnancy, the synthesis of oxytocin receptors in the uterus increases, and the smooth muscle cells of the uterus become more sensitive to its effects. Oxytocin is continually released throughout childbirth through a positive feedback mechanism.
