This is when you can see the top of your baby’s head through the opening of your vagina.

This occurs during the second stage of labor when the cervix is fully dilated.

The continues contractions and maternal efforts will aid the birth of the newborn

It’s an exciting time for the midwife and the client

Some midwives will even announce this to the mum to give her more hope that baby is just about to be born

She may even be allowed to touch the babies head to confirm it

At this time you need to cooperate with your doctor or midwife for the best outcome

Depending on the situation they may decide whether the mum needs an episiotomy or not

The midwife will also make her observation and examination, just to make sure there is no cord that is preceding the head as the pressure on the cord at this time can cut off blood supply to the baby leading to fetal distress.

At any point during the birth process communicate all your feelings to your doctor or midwife.
