Mother:
By this time you have heard and read quite a bit about labor and giving birth. You will have gotten used to having contractions and will get the feeling that these contractions become less like practice and more like the real thing! Your body is getting ready!

The entire labor process can be divided into 3 stages:

• Stage 1
  Your contractions become more regular and intense and increase in frequency. It is important to know how to time your contractions. It is normal to, initially, doubt whether you are really in labor. Some women first feel as if they have a bit of a flu or are really sleepy. Then, the contractions increase and you will be in the active phase of this first stage. Your contractions will require more attention as they increase in frequency and intensity. Around this moment you will move to the place where you’re going to give birth, whether at home or a clinic. You also move into the next phase, called ‘transition’; as contractions come very close together, this is seen as a short but hard phase. As the ‘transition’ comes to an end you will be entirely dilated already!
  


• Stage 2
  This is it! You will begin to push your baby into your world! Even though it might be strange to believe at first, most women actually really enjoy this pushing part, since they feel more actively involved. Your contractions start to feel different and will decrease in frequency. Your midwife or doctor will coach you in how to go about the pushing. A possible episiotomy will be done just before you actually give birth to your baby, which is at the end of this stage! For about 9 months you have been working your way towards this moment!
  

• Stage 3
  It is unavoidable, necessary, but quite an anticlimax: giving birth to the placenta. After bringing your baby into this world, you are still in awe of this little miracle in your arms. Anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour later you will get the placenta out by giving it a few small pushes. Do start nursing your baby as soon as possible; this will speed up the placenta coming out as well as help stop any possible bleeding. Yes, it is a miracle!

Baby:

Of course your baby is still growing and growing and urinates about 0.5 liter per day! The placenta is producing hormones that activate the milk production in your breasts. Your baby now measures about 43 cm and weighs a whopping 2 kg!
