Endocrinology of Parturition1 [PDF]
To insure optimal survival of the neonate, the timing of parturition must be tightly controlled. Parturition before term dramatically increases the risk of the birth of a nonviable premature infant. At a time after the baby is mature, the intrauterine environment becomes hostile. Postdate fetuses have an increased incidence of intrauterine demise.
