Childbirth
Childbirth, also known as labour (or labor in American English), parturition, and delivery, is the completion of pregnancy, where one or more fetuses exits the internal environment of the mother vaginally or via caesarean section and becomes a newborn to the world. In 2019, there were about 140.11 million human births globally. In developed countries, most births occur in hospitals, while in developing countries most are home births.
