Question

In what position does the baby normally exit during the expulsion stage?

Options

• Sideways

• Feet-first

• Buttocks-first

• Head-first

Answer 1

During the expulsion stage, the baby passes through the cervix and vagina head-first in normal delivery. The umbilical cord is tied and cut close to the baby's navel, and the newborn clears the respiratory tract with its first sharp cry.
