The answer is: positive feedback mechanism.

Explanation:

  • Positive feedback mechanisms amplify or increase the occurrence of events. In the context of childbirth, contractions are part of a positive feedback loop. When contractions begin, they stimulate the release of the hormone oxytocin, which in turn causes more contractions. This cycle continues, intensifying the contractions until childbirth is complete.
  • Negative feedback mechanisms, on the other hand, work to maintain homeostasis by reducing the effect of changes, which is not the case with childbirth contractions.
