		Childbirth (also called labour, birth, or parturition) is the culmination of pregnancy, the emergence of a child from its mother's uterus.
		Midwives see childbirth as a normal event for most women, one which is best handled by as few interventions as possible.
		During a contraction the long muscles of the uterus contract, starting at the top of the uterus and working their way down to the bottom.

	Labor Contractions - California Pacific Medical Center's Women & Infants Center
		Labor contractions are the periodic tightening and relaxing of the uterine muscle, the largest muscle in a woman's body.
		Contractions are often described as a cramping or tightening sensation that starts in the back and moves around to the front in a wave-like manner.
		These contractions cause the upper part of the uterus (fundus) to tighten and thicken while the cervix and lower portion of the uterus stretch and relax, helping the baby pass from inside the uterus and into the birth canal for delivery.

		A woman is said to be in "established labour" when painful contractions have become regular in frequency (3-4 in 10 minutes) and less than 60 seconds in duration.
		If contractions do not commence spontaneously, induction (by prostaglandin gel or pitocin) may be necessary.
		In the past, a large proportion of women (up to 20%) died during or shortly after childbirth, often from puerperal fever, but since the introduction of basic hygiene during parturition by Ignaz Semmelweis, this number has fallen precipitously.

		Contract claims (where the parties have defined their own legal relationship) are usually distinguished from tort claims (where the relationship between the parties is defined by law or custom).
		Typically, the remedy for breach of contract is an award of money damages designed to restore the injured party to the economic position that he or she expected from performance of the promise or promises (known as an "expectation measure" or "benefit-of-the-bargain" measure of damages).
		To obtain damages for breach of contract or to obtain specific performance, the injured party may file a civil (non-criminal) lawsuit, usually in a state court, or petition a private arbitrator to decide the contract issues presented.

		This stage of childbirth, from the onset of progressing labor contractions until the cervix is completely dilated, is almost always the longest.
		Some subtle signs and symptoms that you are beginning first stage childbirth include a vague backache that may cause restlessness, several soft bowel movements accompanied by flulike feelings, and a nesting urge--an unusual burst of energy, particularly related to cleaning and getting your home ready for the baby.
		Contractions are dilating the cervix by the time they average one minute long and five minutes apart.

		After the next contraction, which I could tell had moved her a lot, I reached down again and her head was bulging through quite a bit, almost to the tips of her ears.
		The next few contractions were tough, as I just tried to ease her head out and not push too hard.
		During the next contraction, her shoulders were a bit slow, because her cord was around her neck.

	Pitocin FAQ - Childbirth.org
		Pitocin is supposed to be used to induce labor or increase the strength or duration of contractions for the health of mother or baby.
		With pitocin, the induced force of the contraction may decrease uterine blood flow (This is also done during a natural contraction, but not for as long of a period and not as close together.).
		With the more painful contractions a mother is more likely to need pain medication, such as an epidural anesthesia.

	Joanna's Birth of Cassidy ~ Empowered Childbirth
		I felt my cervix during a contraction before getting in and I could feel the babies head TIGHTLY pressed against my cervix, and the sac was not bulging as it had been the evening before but was very taut.
		Decided to shave my pits and legs between contractions, and that was how it happened literally… shave one leg, have a contraction… shave the other… have a contraction.
		The contractions were sooo much less intense once my water broke, but I just knew this was it, for real this time.

	THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE IN NATURAL CHILDBIRTHby Ilana Machover
		The contractions of the uterus are controlled by the secretion of appropriate hormones during each of the three phases of labour: dilation of the cervix, birth, and birth of the placenta.
		In "monkey", as the mother leans forwards, her abdominal wall becomes a kind of hammock for the baby, while the tilt of her pelvis makes more space for the baby's head to enter the pelvic brim; thus the baby is encouraged to move into the optimal position for birth.
		If at the onset of contraction, or rather a split second before, the mother allows her mouth to be wet, whispers "ah'", and starts to do the pear movement (or a dynamic form of "monkey") her whole attention is directed to the movement.

	Emergency Childbirth
		She should be patient and calm, relaxing as the contractions come and go and breathing slowly and deeply during the contractions as they become strong.
		When the contractions recur at regular 3-4 minute intervals and last from 50-60 seconds, the mother is in the latter part of the first stage.
		The contractions of the second stage are often of a different kind.

	Timing Contractions
		To determine how far apart the contractions are you begin timing at the start of a contraction, and end timing at the beginning of the next contraction.
		To determine how long a contraction is, you begin timing at the beginning of a contraction, and end at the end of the same contraction.
		In this example, the contractions are two minutes apart, since it takes two minutes from the start of one contraction until the start of the next contraction.

	Byn's Birth of Abyni ~ Empowered Childbirth
		I only had a few contractions (maybe three?) In the pool before I thought it might not be a good idea to be lying sideways...

	Childbirth Support
		During this phase the contractions are mild to moderate, progressing from irregular and far apart to every 5 to 10 minutes, lasting 30-45 seconds.
		A good thing for the mother to do is to stop pushing, empty her bladder, and try two contractions on her left side, two contractions on her right side, two contractions on her hands and knees, and two in a knee-chest position.
		With pitocin, the induced force of the contraction may decrease uterine blood flow (this also happens during a natural contraction, but not for as long and not as close together), reducing the oxygen to the baby.

	Childbirth Guide: Contractions
		Braxton Hicks contractions are contractions that prepare your body for the work that is ahead.
		If you are experiencing pain with the Braxton Hicks contractions, it is more likely to be the ligaments pulling than the actual "exercise contraction" that is causing the pain.
		These contractions cause the abdominal muscles to prepare for childbirth ahead, but they are not productive in the birth of the baby.

	Enemas & Childbirth
		Childbirth was probably one of the first conditions that brought about the development of professional healers.
		The enema is very useful in natural childbirth and would have been one of the basic tools of any good healer called on for the care of mothers to be as well as many other conditions.
		If she had enemas as part of childbirth, and almost everyone over 20's mother did, she may also be quite accepting and supportive of the treatment.

	Sample Chapter for Klassen, P.E.: Blessed Events: Religion and Home Birth in America.
		Guiding my inquiry into the religious meanings these women attribute to childbirth are the two issues I referred to earlier: one, tensions between feminist and traditionalist appraisals of the symbolic meaning of birth, and two, the kinds of agency afforded to or denied women as they derive religious meanings from childbirth.
		Their insistence that physical pain in childbirth need not always be interpreted as suffering that requires obliteration through drugs is grounded in an embodied conviction that pain can also generate propitious forms of power, and in some cases, community.
		Though childbirth is politically contested and some women recount their experience in the genre of the "horror story," women (at least middle-class, married, heterosexual women) are not condemned for giving birth, but celebrated.

	Childbirth Hypnosis, Wendi Friesen
		Hypnosis is an easy way to create a totally peaceful state in the chemistry of the body that will allow the muscles to relax so deeply that the fear melts away, the muscles release the adrenaline and pain is released.
		After my daughter was born, the nurse, who has been delivering babies for 15 years, told me that she has never seen a patient labor like I did.
		The experience of pain in childbirth is the result of an unnatural process of fear, which produces tension, which creates tightness and clamping of the muscles, which results in pain.

	Pushing Positions during Childbirth
		It is highly recommended that you practice each one, through a couple of practice contractions, just to see for yourself whether you find them comfortable, or practical.
		It is very practical in that it is easy to move from active pushing during a contraction, to resting between contractions.
		It can be challenging to move from active pushing, to a resting position between contractions from all fours, and it is highly recommended that you practice this before you try it in labour.

		It is hard to sit in the car on the way while I have contractions, It was so much better at home, when I could rock and walk and move with the pain.

		Between contractions she tells me she knows that this is hard to do, but I an doing it.
