What is "childbirth"?
Childbirth is the process of delivering a baby from the mother's womb. It involves labor, where the mother's body works to push the baby out through the birth canal, or a cesarean section, also known as a C-section, if surgery is needed. Childbirth marks the beginning of a baby's life outside the womb and involves various stages, including contractions, opening of the cervix, and the actual birth of the baby.
Example
During labor, contractions help the cervix dilate for childbirth.
Pregnancy often leads to women gaining weight as their bodies prepare for childbirth.
Doulas help create a calm and positive atmosphere during childbirth.
