Stages of Birth

Answer 29

1. Uterus begins to contract at regular intervals, which get closer and closer together. These contractions begin pushing down on the baby. At some point, the sac holding the amniotic fluid breaks; the fluid leaks out of the mother’s vagina. As contractions continue, the cervix stretches open more and more, until it is about 10 cm wide. This stage can last for many hours, especially for first-time mothers. 2. The mother gets a fierce urge to push (a bit like with a bowel motion) every time the uterus contracts. Bit by bit, this pushes the baby further down the vagina (birth canal). 3. The placenta is delivered after the baby is born. By this stage of the pregnancy it is a flattish, dinner-plate-shaped organ that looks a bit like a large piece of liver.
