A normal delivery, also known as a vaginal delivery, is the process of giving birth through the vagina. During a normal delivery, the baby is born through the cervix, the opening of the uterus, and into the vagina.

There are several stages of labor during a normal delivery:

• Early labor: This is the beginning of labor, and it is characterized by mild contractions that may be irregular and not very strong. This stage can last for several hours or even days.
• Active labor: This is the main part of labor, and it is characterized by stronger, more frequent contractions that cause the cervix to open and the baby to move down through the birth canal.
• Transition: This is the shortest stage of labor, and it is marked by the most intense contractions. The cervix will open fully, and the baby's head will be visible at the opening of the vagina.
• Second stage: This is the stage of delivery, and it is characterized by the baby being born through the vagina.
• Third stage: This is the stage of delivery in which the placenta is expelled from the uterus.

A normal delivery is generally considered to be the safest and most natural way to give birth, and it is the most common type of delivery. However, there are circumstances in which a normal delivery may not be possible or may not be recommended, and a cesarean delivery (also known as a C-section) may be necessary.
