List the different stages (phases) of childbirth and note what occurs to start and end each stage
What will be an ideal response?
Stage 1 starts with uterine contractions that begin to push the baby out of the womb and toward the vagina (birth canal). The cervix, which is the opening between the uterus and vagina, begins to dilate and by the end of the stage will be near 10 centimeters in diameter. Throughout this stage the contractions become more intense and rhythmic. The child's head passing to the fully dilated cervix marks the end of stage 1.
Stage 2 begins when the baby passes through the cervix and into the vagina and is pushed out of the body when the mother uses her abdominal and vaginal muscles to "push" the baby out. Stage 2 ends when the baby is fully delivered.
Stage 3 begins with the child emerging from the vagina, and involves a few more pushes so that the placenta, or afterbirth, can be voided from the body. Once the placenta emerges, the third stage and the childbirth have ended.
