There are 3 main stages of labour: <br />
1) The first stage, Dilation, is<br />
when the cervix softens, thins<br />
and shortens before it starts to<br />
open up until it's 10cm wide so<br />
that the baby’s head may fit<br />
through.<br />
2) The second stage of Labour,<br />
the baby's birth, is from the end<br />
of the first stage until the delivery<br />
of the baby. <br />
3) The third stage of Labour, the<br />
placenta, is from the delivery of<br />
the baby to the delivery of the<br />
placenta.
