The lower part of the womb is stretched by them, the cervix gets softer. However, the birth ways don't enlarge themselves. The head of the baby slips more deeply into the pelvis and the child can "adapt." The nascent mother can breathe more freely again now and the pressure on the stomach isn't so strong any more.

Opening labors
The birth starts with these rhythmical labors. You lead to the opening of the os uteri. A labor lasts for 25 to 60 seconds. Two to three labors come every ten minutes to the beginning of the opening phase, toward the end of this birth phase every 30 minutes.

The ejection labors cause one the childlike head by the os uteri, the sheath and the perineum out press. The woman feels an irresistible impulse con-press (pressing labors) primarily toward the end of the kard ejection phase. The labors are intensive, frequent and painful. The frequency is at the beginning of the kard ejection phase every ten minutes, late every three minutes with shortening of the labor pauses.

Afterbirth labors
Afterbirth labors result in the placenta taking itself off and being ejected. The womb already forms educate oneself. These labors noticeably, however aren't painful absolutely. It is rhythmical labors, these every two to three minute show commitment to the afterbirth phase.
