Relaxation of the cervix does not antagonize progesterone and trigger labor and delivery, but instead allows for the expulsion of the fetus during delivery. Rising estrogen levels increase sensitivity and can contribute to labor and delivery. Rising oxytocin levels can also lead to uterine contractions and trigger labor and delivery. Distortion of the myometrium and cervix can also contribute to labor and delivery.
