The baby is pushed from the uterus out through the vagina and into the world by contractions of the muscle. I think this is the answer........
In this phase, contractions are longer and more regular, usually occurring about every two minutes. These stronger contractions are also more painful.
Oxytocin is secreted by the posterior pituitary and is peptide/water-soluble. It stimulates contractions during childbirth and milk secretion during nursing.
For women who choose to deliver in a hospital, a diagnosis of active labor is generally made if contractions are regular and strong, and the cervix is effacing and/or dilating noticeably on an hourly basis.
False labor, or Braxton-Hicks contractions usually occur in the 2 weeks prior to real labor, especially with the first childbirth.
