What causes muscles of the uterus to contract during childbirth?

Oxitosin is the hormone. It is secreted by pituitary.


Which is the hormone that helps the uterus to shrink after birth?

Contractions continue due to the hormone oxytocin, a few hours after delivery you can feel the top of the uterus as a hard mass in line with the umbilicus. Over the next few days/ weeks it will return to almost it's normal size. (Longer for c-sections) When you feel 'afterbirth pains'- usually during breastfeeding this is what's happening.
