Labor and Delivery NICHD - Eunice Kennedy Shriver National

quot;Labor" and "delivery" describe the process of childbirth. Contractions of the uterus and changes in the cervix (the opening of the uterus) prepare a woman's body to give birth. Then the baby is born, and the placenta follows. NICHD studies many aspects of labor and delivery: their basic biology, childbirth practices, and management of related problems. A separate topic covers preterm labor and birth.
