Answer:

Prostaglandins

Explanation:

Prostaglandins are a class of lipids, that are secreted in the event of an injury, tissue damage or contraction. They're said to occur in almost every human organ. Contraction simply put, is when the inner muscles, the uterine begins to tighten and release at intervals during or before child-birth. So prostaglandins in this case helps to cause these contractions to occurr. it does this by also softening the cervix, making it ready for contraction.

hope this helps?

What does it mean to put the shot glass down upside down?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
<span>Don't change the ring that you were originally pierced wtih. Dark colors are definately not a part of normal healing - I would reccomend that you go back to the place where you got it pierced and they can suggest an over the counter cleaning solution (like Mecca, that's what I used) or refer you to a doctor for an antibiotic perscription. In the mean time if you are feeling sore at all, take a shot glass, put 1/2 a tea spoon of epsom salts in it and fill to 3/4 with water... put the shot glass in the microwave for 40 seconds and then flip it upside down over your belly button.
