Normal delivery, also known as vaginal delivery, is the most common method of childbirth, characterized by the baby passing through the birth canal during labor and delivery. It typically occurs spontaneously, without the need for medical interventions, although medical support and monitoring are often provided to ensure the safety and well-being of both the mother and baby.

During normal delivery, contractions of the uterine muscles gradually open the cervix, allowing the baby to descend into the birth canal. As labor progresses, the mother may experience intense sensations of pressure and discomfort, but with proper support and pain management techniques, such as breathing exercises or epidural anesthesia, the process can be more manageable.

Once the cervix is fully dilated, the mother begins pushing efforts to help propel the baby through the birth canal. With each contraction and push, the baby moves closer to delivery. Eventually, the baby's head emerges first, followed by the shoulders and the rest of the body.

Normal delivery offers numerous benefits, including faster recovery times, reduced risk of complications, and increased bonding opportunities between mother and baby immediately after birth. While complications can arise during labor and delivery, the vast majority of women are able to successfully deliver vaginally with proper prenatal care and support from healthcare providers.
