3D Animation of Normal Child Birth Delivery
Childbirth (also called labour, birth, partus or parturition) is the culmination of a human pregnancy or gestation period with birth of one or more newborn infants from a woman’s uterus. The process of normal human childbirth is categorized in three stages of labour: the shortening and dilation of the cervix, descent and birth of the infant, and birth of the placenta. In some cases, childbirth is achieved through caesarean section, the removal of the neonate through a surgical incision in the abdomen, rather than through vaginal birth

A narrated 3D-style animation that walks through a normal vaginal birth stage by stage. It follows the baby head-down in the uterus, the first stage of regular contractions and cervical dilation to 10 centimetres, then the stronger second-stage contractions, the waters breaking, and the delivery itself.

The birth of a child has been called one of life's greatest miracles. During childbirth, the baby lies in the mother's uterus with his head pointing down toward the cervix in anticipation of his or her arrival. The first stages of labor begin with short, regular contractions of the uterus, every few minutes, which continue until the mother's cervix is fully dilated, usually 10 centimeters. In the second stage of labor, the contractions become more forceful, more frequent, and more painful. As the baby's head starts to move down the vagina, the amniotic sac breaks and fluid is released.
Most mothers recognize this event as their water breaking. The top of the head appears at the entrance of the vagina and finally bulges out. This is the crowning of the head. The contractions which follow push the baby even farther down so that the head is delivered. The baby's eyes immediately begin to blink and the mouth makes sucking movements. The baby usually emerges facing the mother's back so that the head passes through the widest possible opening in the pelvic girdle. The head then turns so that the upper and then the lower shoulder follows.
There is a final contraction and the baby slips out, still attached to the umbilical cord. The cord is then tied and cut, a painless operation because the cord is nervous. The third stage of labor in which the placenta or afterbirth is delivered is usually complete about 15 minutes after the birth.
