Theories regarding endocrine contributions to the onset of labor
JOGN Nursing; Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing
|September 1, 1978
A review of the literature on endocrine factors influencing labor is presented. Treated separately are oxytocin, the prostaglandins, the fetus, and estrogen/progesterone. Implications for nursing practice and theory are discussed where appropriate, and the reader is encouraged to think of parturition as a complex interplay of factors.
