Childbirth

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.

Neglected things that keeps people away from you.

1. Complaining all the time. Even if you have reasons to complain sometimes its better to suggest a solution than to be casting blames& talking too much. 2. Depending on others to help you do everthing. Even if your efforts are not very much try and look for how to reduce stress for others you are dependent on otherwise they will pull back from you because nobody in this present world is ready to sustain a liability. 3. Talking too much. When you tie people down with your so many words, they are bored and will not like to really come around you again especially when they have more important things to do.  Talk at the same range with people or sometimes allow them speak more than you,  but don't let them do all of the talking to avoid a dull atmosphere. 4.
