Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hormone commonly given to induce labor during delivery is oxytocin. This hormone stimulates contractions in the uterus, which can help the baby to move down the birth canal and ultimately be delivered. Estrogen and progesterone are hormones that play important roles during pregnancy but are not typically used to induce labor. Prolactin is a hormone involved in milk production after birth but is not directly involved in labor and delivery.
