Childbirth , also known as labour and delivery , is the ending of a pregnancy by one or more babies leaving a woman's uterus by vaginal passage or Caesarean section .
The most common way of childbirth is a vaginal delivery . It involves three stages of labour:
1. The shortening and opening of the cervix,
2. Descent and birth of the baby,
3. The delivery of the placenta.
The first stage begins with crampy abdominal or back pains that last around half a minute and occur every ten to thirty minutes. The crampy pains become stronger and closer together over time.
During the second stage pushing with contractions may occur, And In the third stage delayed clamping of the umbilical cord is generally recommended.
How babies are born.
Most babies are born head first ; however about 4% are born feet or buttock first, known as breech. Typically the heads enter the pelvis facing to one side, and then rotate to face down. During labour a woman can generally eat and move around as she likes, but pushing is not recommended during the first stage or during delivery of the head, and enemas are not recommended.
