This is a positive feedback system. The release of oxytocin causes the first contractions, and these contractions then cause the production and release of more oxytocin, which will then cause even more contractions. This is why it's a positive feedback system; it encourages the continuation of whatever is happening.

During the child birth there is a release of the oxytocin hormone, under the action of the pituitary.
It is a positive feedback mechanism . because it regulates the pregnancy and induces the parturition.
Thus favors the child birth, hence a positive feedback of body.
