Some topics you will learn in this infographic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engagement:<\/b>
During the few weeks before labor, the presenting part of the fetus will pass through the maternal pelvic inlet and engages in the true pelvis. This mechanism refers to engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Descent:<\/b>
The descent of the fetus through the pelvis indicates the progressive movement of the fetal presenting part through the pelvis to prepare for birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expulsion of Infant:<\/b>
After the head and shoulders have exited the vaginal opening, the fetal head and shoulders move upward allowing for the rest of the baby to be born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
