    process of delivering a baby from the uterus

    Childbirth, also known as labor or delivery, is the process by which a baby is born. It involves a series of stages, including the dilation of the cervix, the descent and birth of the baby, and the delivery of the placenta. This process can occur naturally or be assisted through medical interventions such as cesarean sections.
