childbirth

the process in which a baby is born

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.
