During stage two of labor, the baby moves through the birth canal and is delivered. Roz's description of the baby's position in the vagina and her contractions indicate that she is in stage two. Stage one includes the early and active phases of labor, during which the cervix opens and effaces, and stage three is the delivery of the placenta after the baby is born. Stage four refers to the period after delivery when the mother's body begins to recover.
