Childbirth Concepts

Childbirth involves the process of delivering a baby from the mother's uterus through the birth canal. It usually begins with labor, where the uterus contracts to help open the cervix, creating a pathway for the baby. Labor progresses through three stages: early labor, active labor, and the delivery of the baby, followed by the delivery of the placenta. Modern childbirth may occur naturally or with medical assistance, such as medication or cesarean section. The goal is to ensure the safety and health of both mother and baby through careful monitoring and care throughout the process.
