What hormone prevents uterus from initiating labor before the designated delivery time?
The hormone levels are one factor. Estrogen increases contractility of the uterus while progesterone inhibits it. Throughout pregnancy, progesterone levels are high, but just before labor, they fall relative to estrogen levels and contractions start. Another hormone called oxytocin also induces labor. The number of oxytocin receptors increases as pregnancy progresses, and hormone levels rise at labor causing the uterus to contract and begin labor. The uterus also has stretch receptors and will not start contracting unless stretched to a certain degree.
What roles does estrogen play in the in the feedback mechanism?
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a neurohormone secreted by the preoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus. This hormone causes leuteinizing hormone to be released by the anterior pituitary. LH works its way through the bloodstream to the ovaries, which produce estrogen. Estrogen has a feedback loop with both the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary. Whether the mechanism is positive or negative depends. In ovulation, this mechanism is positive, so high estrogen levels will induce even higher LH levels.
