What the Unborn Tells Mother

When talking about a baby's expected time of birth, we have all heard someone say, "The baby will come when it's ready." While that might not sound very scientific, new research shows that the statement is probably scientifically accurate. The infant, not the mother, seems to control the start of the birth process for mother and infant.
