During pregnancy the uterine wall is stretched as the embryo grows. There are hormones affecting the smooth muscle in the myometrium, some causing contraction while others causing relaxation. During pregnancy, these hormones favor relaxation so that childbirth does not occur. Which of the following hormones is responsible for tipping the scales toward contraction, resulting in childbirth? O prolactin O maternal oxytocin O fetal oxytocin O estrogen O progesterone
