What is the procedure for natural childbirth ?

As the doctor expects, your body begins to change naturally as the due date approaches. You may notice some fluid leaking from your vagina towards the due date. This is referred to as ‘water bag breakage.’ After your water bag ruptures, you will begin to feel contractions.

When you have contractions, your cervix will enlarge or dilate. It may take some time to dilate to the required 10cm. As soon as it is fully dilated, the baby’s head will appear. You may have to go through some more contractions and push hard to get your baby out of the vaginal canal. After the infant is born, you will have further contractions to deliver the placenta.
