During stage 2, the baby is expelled. The crowning of the baby's head is usually seen first, because a fetus most often assumes a head-down position in the seventh month. At this point, the doctor may make an incision (episiotomy) in the perineum to widen the vaginal opening. The episiotomy is angled away from the anus to prevent the perineum tearing into the anus as the baby is born. The head is the most difficult part to expel. Once it is delivered, the rest of the body is expelled more easily.
