This theory explains that the onset of labor is caused by the physical overstretching of the uterus as the baby grows. There's a limit to how much the uterus can stretch, and reaching this limit can trigger contractions.
Uterine Stretch Theory
Pressure on the Cervix Theory
This theory explains that the onset of labor is caused by the baby's head pressing against the cervix (known as the Ferguson Reflex), which stimulates the release of oxytocin and prostaglandins, further promoting contractions.
Pressure on the Cervix Theory
Uterine Stretch Theory
This theory explains that the onset of labor is caused by a surge of cortisol from the maturing fetal adrenal glands. This increase in fetal cortisol acts on the placenta to decrease progesterone and increase estrogen production, setting in motion the hormonal cascade that initiates labor.
Fetal Endocrine Control Theory
Fetal Endocrine Withdrawal Theory
Fetal Endocrine Stimulation Theory
Fetal Endocrine Activation Theory
Fetal Endocrine Cascade Theory
This theory explains that the onset of labor is caused by a decrease in the level of progesterone which normally relaxes the uterus. When progesterone levels drop, the uterus becomes more prone to contractions.
Progesterone Withdrawal Theory
Progesterone Stimulation Theory
Progesterone Activation Theory
Progesterone Cascade Theory
Progesterone Control Theory
This theory explains that the onset of labor is caused by an increase in estrogen level. Estrogen levels rise significantly toward term, promoting the formation of oxytocin receptors and stimulating the production of prostaglandins, which both prepare the uterus and cervix for labor.
Estrogen Stimulation Theory
Estrogen Activation Theory
Estrogen Cascade Theory
Estrogen Control Theory
Estrogen Withdrawal Theory
This theory explains that the onset of labor is caused by an increase in the production of oxytocin, which stimulates the uterus to contract. The uterus also becomes more sensitive to oxytocin as term approaches.
Oxytocin Activation Theory
Oxytocin Cascade Theory
Oxytocin Control Theory
Oxytocin Withdrawal Theory
Oxytocin Stimulation Theory
This theory explains that the onset of labor is caused by an increase in the production of prostaglandins. These powerful hormones soften the cervix (ripening) and stimulate strong, coordinated uterine muscle contractions.
Prostaglandin Cascade Theory
Prostaglandin Control Theory
Prostaglandin Withdrawal Theory
Prostaglandin Stimulation Theory
Prostaglandin Activation Theory
