It&#8217;s the most common method of childbirth. During a vaginal birth, your uterus contracts to thin and open your cervix and push your baby out through your vagina (or birth canal).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">Healthcare providers prefer vaginal deliveries because they&#8217;re usually safest for the fetus and the birthing mother. A vaginal delivery occurs most often between weeks 37 and 42 of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-gray-900 font-bold leading-rem30px text-rem25px bp600:text-rem32px bp600:leading-rem38px mt-rem32px mb-rem16px break-words \" data-identity=\"headline\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>How common are vaginal deliveries?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were more than 2.5 million vaginal deliveries in 2020.

Your cervix may be about 5 centimeters dilated at the end of early labor.<\/li>\n<li class=\"mb-rem12px pl-rem12px text-gray-800 text-rem19px leading-rem34px \"><strong>Active labor:<\/strong> This stage of labor consists of strong contractions that last up to one minute each and happen about three minutes apart. Some people request an epidural during this time because contractions can be painful. Healthcare providers may also give you oxytocin(Pitocin\u00ae) to speed up labor.<\/li>\n<li class=\"mb-rem12px pl-rem12px text-gray-800 text-rem19px leading-rem34px \"><strong>Transitional labor:<\/strong> This is the time just before your cervix is 10 centimeters dilated. It&#8217;s a short but intense time when your contractions come very quickly and last longer than one minute. This phase may make you sweat, vomit or feel shaky. It happens just before you begin to push.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"text-gray-900 font-bold leading-rem24px text-rem20px bp600:text-rem25px bp600:leading-rem30px mt-rem32px mb-rem16px break-words \" data-identity=\"headline\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Birth<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">The birthing stage begins when you reach 10 centimeters and ends with the birth of your baby through your vagina. In this stage of labor, you experience strong contractions and begin pushing. You may feel pressure or like you need to poop. Your healthcare provider may coach you through pushing, especially if you&#8217;ve had an epidural and can&#8217;t feel contractions. This phase can last a few minutes or a few hours. Generally, birth is quicker if you&#8217;ve had a prior vaginal delivery.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-gray-900 font-bold leading-rem24px text-rem20px bp600:text-rem25px bp600:leading-rem30px mt-rem32px mb-rem16px break-words \" data-identity=\"headline\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Delivering the placenta<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">The last stage of labor is delivering the placenta (commonly called afterbirth). It begins after your baby is removed from your vagina and ends when your placenta is delivered. Your healthcare provider may ask you for a few more pushes. This stage begins a few minutes after your baby is born and lasts up to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">It&#8217;s important to remember that labor and childbirth are different for everyone. Certain factors can play a role in your labor being longer or shorter. For example, if you get an epidural, you won&#8217;t experience the same pain level as someone who doesn&#8217;t get an epidural. Also, your labor may be longer if it&#8217;s your first baby. Factors like the size and position of your baby and how quickly you dilate can all affect how long a vaginal delivery takes.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<h3 class=\"text-gray-900 font-bold leading-rem30px text-rem25px bp600:text-rem32px bp600:leading-rem38px mt-rem32px mb-rem16px break-words \" data-identity=\"headline\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>What are the risks of having a vaginal delivery?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">Vaginal deliveries generally carry the least risk.
