Third Trimester rapid growth
• Premature babies
• 24 weeks may survive with medical care
• Circulatory and respiratory systems prepare for breathing air
• Rotates head toward cervix
• At birth ave =
– 50 cm (20 in)
– 2.7-4.5 kg (6-10 lb)

Childbirth• Labor – strong
rhythmic contractions of the uterus controlled by hormones
1. Estrogen - Induce oxytocin receptors
2. Oxytocin – causes uterus to contract, placenta to make prostaglandins (more contractions)

Childbirth…1. Cervix dilates (0 to ~10 cm),
ave. 6-12 hours
2. Full dilation of cervix to birth, strong contractions, ave. 20 – 60 minutes, clamp umbilical cord
3. Delivery of the placenta (afterbirth), ~ 15 minutes after birth

Hormones after birth…
• Estrogen and progesterone allow uterus to return to pre-pregnancy state
• Prolactin – promotes milk production in mammary glands – colostrum (protein and antibodies) before milk– Milk comes in ~2-3 days after birth
