Summary Introduction

To write:

The reason for the increase of labor pain.

Introduction:

Labor is differentiated by the strong, rhythmic contraction of the uterus. It is a hormonally controlled process. A hormone called oxytocine triggers the formation of receptors on the uterus. During labor, oxytocine increases the uterine contraction and it stimulates more oxytocine which results in intensifying muscle contraction.
