About Childbirth
There are three basic stages to childbirth. This process plays out time after time in A Woman’s Life: Saint Gianna Beretta Molla 1922-1964. First, it is called early and active labor. Birth happens when a woman begins to feel ongoing contractions. These contractions become stronger, and they happen more often as time goes on. The contractions cause the cervix to open. This is called dilation. The contractions also soften, shorten, and thin the cervix. That process is called effacement. It allows the baby to move into the birth canal. This is the first stage of labor is the longest of the three stages, often lasting several hours.
Stage 2 is the birth of the baby. It can take from a few minutes to a few hours to push the baby into the world. People who have not had a baby before and those who have an epidural typically need longer to push compared to those who have had a baby or do not have an epidural. In this stage, the woman needs to push! The head of the baby comes first, the the shoulder and the rest of the baby.
The baby’s airway might need to be cleared. If the delivery did not involve any health concerns for you or your baby, your healthcare professional may wait a few seconds to a few minutes before the umbilical cord is cut. Waiting to clamp and cut the umbilical cord after delivery increases the flow of nutrient-rich blood from the cord and the placenta to the baby.
The third stage of childbirth is the shortest stage of childbirth, taking about thirty minutes. After your baby is born, you will likely feel a great sense of relief. You might hold the baby in your arms or on your belly. Cherish the moment. But there is still a little more to do. During the third stage of labor, you deliver the placenta.
