When a woman goes into labor during childbirth, the cervix expands which sends a signal to the pituitary gland to release oxytocin which results in more contractions which results in more oxytocin being released and so on. What is happening during childbirth?

A negative feedback loop.

Cell regulation

the correct answer would be a positive feedback loop. when contractions happens its to help get the baby out and to let you know when the baby is coming so when the contractions start it means you are going into labor.
