* As previously explained, parturition is dependent on a rise in foetal Cortisol. However, in this case, the rise in foetal cortisol leads to a decrease in '''maternal''' progesterone.

* Foetal cortisol causes upregulation of the enzymes '''17α hydroxylase, C17-C20-lyase and aromatase''' in order to increase the oestrogen:progesterone ratio.
