WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE NORMAL DELIVERY?

During the normal delivery, the labour contractions open the cervix in a slow manner. Once the cervix is open entirely, the contractions help in pushing the baby through the birth canal (vagina). In most of the cases, baby's head comes first which is followed by shoulders and the rest of the body, while in other cases where some women find it difficult,the doctors may use forceps or suction cup only after your permission. Also, several women choose different birthing positions like bending, or semi reclining.
You may get small tear in the region of vaginal opening during the delivery and if your vaginal opening is very close, the doctor may make a small cut around it, to increase the tear (episiotomy). Mostly, these tears need stitches but they dissolve during the healing process. These tears may make you uneasy for a few days.
Generally, the placenta comes out easily after delivery, while in few cases, the doctor removes it manually under anaesthesia when it does not come out on its own. Also, some women lose small amount of blood during the delivery, but if the amount of blood loss is greater, blood transfusion may be required.
