PG-E2 Is Important in Labor and Pregnancy

PG-E2 has a stimulating effect to activate smooth muscle, particularly in the uterus and cervix. This particular molecule can be used to induce labor. Prostaglandins in sperm plays one of the roles to irritate the cervix. So yes, my wife had a prostaglandin gel used to hopefully stimulate little tear to come through. It did not work. We had to jump on an oxytocin drip, which again stimulates the uterine contractions. Bob luckily came about 30 hours later. Luckily.
