Vaginal birth is the process of delivering a baby through the birth canal. This method typically involves contractions of the uterus, which help push the baby out. It is the most common way for babies to be born and is often preferred for its natural approach. During vaginal birth, the mother may experience various stages, including labor and delivery. Healthcare providers, such as obstetricians or midwives, monitor the mother and baby to ensure a safe delivery. Vaginal births can also have benefits, such as a shorter recovery time compared to cesarean sections.
