Witness the miraculous journey of childbirth as two pregnant women prepare for labor. This digital illustration series reveals the intricacies of the birthing process, starting with the positioning of each baby's head entering and inside the pelvic area. Six cross-sectional views show the foetus's head navigating the pelvis, with normal and breech positions illustrated. As labor nears, the head of the foetus pushes against the cervix, with the mucus plug visible. Four more cross-sections depict the progression of the head's descent. Observe the uterus post-delivery in a cross-sectional biomedical illustration. Despite the medical marvel, it's important to note the potential risks of poor hygiene during childbirth. Astrologers may cast horoscopes, but the true magic unfolds in the birthing chair, where life begins.
