| The first stage of labor includes cervical dilation and | contractions |
| The second stage of labor is the | delivery |
| The third stage of labor is delivery of the | placenta |
| For the newborn, the period of time after the birth is called the | postnatal period |
| For the mother, the period of time after the birth is called | postpartum |
