Answer:

Parturition or childbirth (labor) is the process of expulsion of the foetus out from the womb through the vagina. Several hormonal changes occur during this period that prepares the mother for parturition.
The rhythmic contractions of uterus that begin at the top travel downward towards the cervix, and expel the foetus out. False labor is the periodic contractions of uterine muscles that causes pain in the abdomen but does not actually intensify and alter with walking, and no discharge of blood with mucous is seen.
During true labour, cervical dilatation occurs, and the discharge of blood with mucous is the clear indication of true labor. True labor causes intense pain at the back and significantly become worsen with walking. True labor leads to childbirth.

Answer:

In females, the ovaries release ovum, which enters into the uterus, through the fallopian tubes. Uterus or womb is a hollow muscular cavity with a thick wall. The walls of the uterus consist of three layers.
1. Perimetrium (Outer peritoneal layer)
2. Myometrium (middle muscular layer)
3. Endometrium (inner mucous layer)
During different phases of sexual life, the uterus changes in size, structure and function. After the ovum is being released, it reaches the uterus, during this period the ovum draws the nutrition from the uterus. So, the uterus becomes more vascular during this period. If the ovum fertilizes, the endometrium keep supplies the nutrition to the growing embryo.
