The development of the baby since nine months or 38 weeks or 266 days passed. The day has arrived, the gestation period. The long awaited moment of the family arrived, filled with fear, excitement and multiple emotions. The pregnant mother suffers the uterine contraction of the mother efforts fully for the healthy delivery of the baby out of the comfort zone in fifteen minutes. The process of this delivery is termed as parturition. The labour process of childbirth comprises mainly of four stages.

Starting witht the mother’s contraction and to the travelling of foetus down the birth canal, expulsion and the delivery of the baby and it’s placenta. If the mother of the baby proceeds the contraction normally, the moment of happiness and ladoos begins for the family. But in case, the mother is not able to contract week enough and unable to push the baby properly, labour techniques are needed. While the contraction takes place, with each contraction, the mother should relax for the foetus to receive oxygen. Without proper relaxation, the amount of blood reaching the foetus becomes lesser.

Relaxation and deep breathing will help the mother to reduce pain. The gynecologist will even provide a mixture of half air, half nitrous oxide at the beginning of contraction. During the delivery, the heart rate of the foetus is in between 120 to 160 beats per minute.
Normally, the rate decreases with each contraction and comes back. If it does not return to normal, this will be a problem which should be treated. Understand the suffering of the mother and pay the love and care back.
