Labour

The document describes the stages of birth, including the breaking of the amniotic sac, contractions of the uterine muscles, dilation of the cervix, passage through the vagina, tying and cutting of the umbilical cord, and delivery of the afterbirth. Labor begins with contractions that cause the cervix to dilate until the baby can pass through the birth canal and vagina.
