Name the three stages of labor, and describe the events that characterize each stage
What will be an ideal response?
The dilation stage begins with the onset of true labor as the cervix dilates and the fetus begins to move toward the cervical canal; later in this stage, the amnion ruptures. The expulsion stage begins as the cervix dilates completely and continues until the fetus has completely emerged from the vagina (delivery). In the placental stage, the uterus gradually contracts, tearing the connections between the endometrium and the placenta and ejecting the placenta (also referred to as the afterbirth).
