Answer:

poditive feedback loop

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive feedback loop results in a change in the body's status, rather than a return to homeostasis.

Oxytocin stimulates the muscle contractions that push the baby through the birth canal. The release of oxytocin result in stronger or augmented contractions during labor.
