The general point that the article makes about the natural process of human childbirth is that it is a situation where the maintenance of the existing body state is not desired.
The mother's body undergoes enormous changes to expel the baby at the end of pregnancy, and the events of childbirth must progress rapidly to ensure the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby.
The extreme muscular work of labor and delivery is driven by a positive feedback system, which causes an increasing deviation from the normal state to a fixed endpoint, rather than a return to a normal set point as in homeostasis.
