The third stage of labor is the stage during which the placenta is delivered. The first stage is characterized by the onset of regular contractions and continues until the cervix is fully dilated. The second stage is the stage of active pushing and the delivery of the baby. The fourth stage is the period immediately following delivery when the body begins to heal and adjust back to its pre-pregnancy state.
