The animation shows the process of a vaginal birth, the baby's journey from the womb to the outside world. Regular contractions signal the start of the process, occurring as the cervix dilates to accommodate birth.When the cervix is fully dilated at 10cm (top right), uterine contractions become stronger and more frequent. The baby then goes through a series of passive movements, especially its head. As labour progresses, the baby's head then begins its passage out of the vagina - a process called crowning (bottom left). The head is followed closely by the baby's shoulders and body - the newborn twisting, appearing to almost wriggle into the world (bottom right). While it is no surprise that childbirth is invariably agonising, how bad does the pain actually get? From going into labour, to delivering your baby and the aftermath, here leading experts reveal to Daily Mail Online what really happens when your baby makes its appearance.
