A member asked:
Fear-induced labor i am writing a fiction book and was wondering if fear can induce labor in a woman who is almost ready to give birth anyway?

Extreme : Extreme stress can cause labor, even preterm labor. It would have to be pretty bad fear, but i think it sounds plausible for a book.

Many things can: Bring on labor, have not heard that fear can cause labor because many women are scared of labor and that does not cause them to go into labor.
