Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second stage of the birth process involves the actual birth of the baby. During this stage, the cervix is fully dilated and the mother will push the baby out of the birth canal. Contractions and the expulsion of the placenta and umbilical cord occur during the third stage of labor. Dilation of the cervix to an opening of about 4 inches occurs during the first stage of labor.
