Types of delivery:
Natural birth:
It is considered the best of all types of births, where it leaves the mother's vagina if it helps any technology and without drugs. Usually the mother is in the position of dorsal cubit, that is to say lying on its back and with the feet sustained to the height of the buttocks since it will facilitate the process of the doctors. This is the most common, but also sometimes they are practiced in a vertical position ie the mother is crouched, this is good because gravity helps the baby's natural delivery.
Vaginal birth instrumental
Occasionally the vaginal delivery should be assisted by special instruments, such as vacuum or forceps, which press the fetal head in order to grasp it and pull it out of the birth canal. It is infrequently indicated in certain difficult deliveries.
Abdominal or cesarean delivery
It is performed by surgical intervention, often by medical indication when presenting high risk, others by decision of the mother since she considers that her baby is not born vaginally.
Birth or Expulsion
It is the passage of the newborn through the birth canal, from the uterus to the outside, thanks to involuntary contractions uterine and powerful abdominal contractions or maternal push.
In childbirth, where the main protagonists are the mother and the child born, the father has traditionally been deprived of the presence and collaboration in childbirth. In some societies the birth is vetoed for all males. In the last decades of the twentieth century, the father has a more active presence.
