What is "labor"?
Labor is the process of giving birth, where the uterus tightens and relaxes to help push the baby out. It happens in three stages: first, the cervix opens and the tightening and relaxing starts; second, the cervix continues to open and the tightening and relaxing becomes stronger; and third, the baby moves through the birth canal and is born, followed by the delivery of the placenta, which is the organ that provided nutrients and oxygen to the baby during pregnancy. The process helps guide the baby from the womb to the outside world.
