Abstract Labour is the physiological process by which the products of conception are passed from the uterus to the outside world. Timely onset is the key determinant of perinatal outcome. Although all viviparous animals share this process, the molecular and cellular mechanisms appear to differ in humans.

Prevention of Preterm Parturition
New England Journal of Medicine, 2014This article reviews risk factors for preterm delivery, with special attention to previous preterm birth and a short cervix. Strategies for minimizing the risk of preterm birth among high-risk women, including progesterone supplementation and cerclage, are discussed.

Initiation of human parturition
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1980Arachidonic acid (the precursor of prostaglandins of the 2-series and related compounds) is released from phosphatidylinositol in a reaction sequence catalyzed by three enzymes, i.e., phospholipase C, diacylglycerol lipase, and monoacylglycerol lipase. Diacylglycerol, an intermediate in this pathway, was found in human amnion tissue.

The role of oxytocin in parturition
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2003Oxytocin and the oxytocin receptor have two important roles in labour. Evidence in all mammalian species suggests that neurohypophysical oxytocin plays a role in the expulsive phase and, although there are less supporting data, a role for oxytocin in the initiation of labour is likely.
