BABY IS IN BIRTH CANAL

The descent stages of the baby are named as -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 according to the alignment of the leading edge of the head. These numbers define the level of the head. This level is determined by manual examination from time to time during birth. When the head reaches +2, there is little time left for birth. At the level of +3, the doctor or midwife will give birth to the baby by making the necessary maneuvers and making an episiotomy cut if necessary.
The baby's descending from the birth canal and opening of the cervix usually happens simultaneously. First, there is no downfall and then no opening in the cervix, but sometimes there is a partial opening in the cervix, and then the baby begins to descend in the canal. For example, while the baby is standing at the highest level in the birth canal, the cervix may open a few centimeters, and the baby then begins to come down. Meanwhile, the opening continues.
The baby's head does not go down from the birth canal:
If the baby never goes down the birth canal or has partially descended and paused at that level despite the opening of the cervix and hours have passed, there may be a so-called "pelvic incompatibility" condition. In other words, the birth channel of the mother may not be able to give birth to that baby in the normal way. In this case, since the birth is stopped halfway, a caesarean section is mandatory.
