Crowning is the moment when the baby's head becomes visible at the opening of the vaginal canal. This occurs during the second stage of labor and typically indicates that delivery will occur within a few minutes. Engagement refers to when the baby's head descends into the pelvis, dilation is the widening of the cervical opening, and expulsion is the actual delivery of the baby.
