Factors for a Successful Birth
How your baby makes its way into the outside world and
how easy the process will be for you depends on these
factors:
• The shape and size of your pelvis
• The baby's position: most babies come out head
first. Birth is more difficult with the feet first
• The diameter of baby's head; the head is designed
to adjust and usually compresses enough to pass through
the pelvis
• Contractions and muscles: during labor, involuntary
uterine contractions, together with mother's use of
her abdominal muscles push the baby out
