When a woman goes into labor, is it becase the baby is ready or because her body is ready? they say "the baby will come when it's ready", but does the baby get labor going, or does the mothers body?

baby makes a hormone that gets into the amniotic fluid to the placenta and into the mother's blood. Then the mother's body makes the oxytocin that causes the contractions. So, the baby kinda determines when it's born. But the mother's body can definitely begin labor before the baby is ready...

There is some evidence that when the baby's lungs are mature enough, they secret a hormone that tells the mother's body that it is time for delivery.
I haven't been able to find much research on it but it is a start. But then, it doesn't explain why some women go over 42 weeks or why some women go into labor early.

Well, I think it's more the body. I mean sometimes women have their babies extremely early...ya know 26 weeks or whenever and clearly the baby isn't "ready" to be born then. It is funny how everyone says that the baby will come when the baby is ready but I think it's more when your body is ready and hopefully the baby is fully ready then it will happen.

no man or woman is fullyyt particular, regardless of the indisputable fact that it really is possibly a mixture of all of those issues. the toddler is growing to be and needs more desirable room, the mummy is wearing a particular way and exercising encourages issues alongside. different such issues as well-being circumstances inclusive of severe blood rigidity, some type of hormonal set off, a actual bump like a fall or swinging your leg over the fringe of your mattress and breaking your water... in case you and your physician are pleased with this determination, it truly is all that counts. the perception is a chance-free shipping and healthful mom and baby. Your physician does not assist you to do it if it weren't chance-free for you and the baby. you may also undergo in concepts that it really is way less tense for the toddler than the hours of compacting down into and out of the start canal.

i think it is more up to the body then it is the baby because the baby doesn't cause the contractions and dialation the body does.
