(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Childbirth (also called labour, birth, or parturition) is the process at the end of pregnancy by which a fetus leaves the mother's womb. It can be considered the opposite of death. Age is defined relative to this event.
A typical human childbirth will begin the onset of the first stage of labour: contractions of the uterus, at first every 10-30 minutes and lasting about 40 seconds each, and the rupture of the amnion ("breaking of the water"). The contractions will accelerate until they happen every two minutes. Each contraction dilates the cervix until it reaches 10 centimetres (4") in width.
In the second stage of labour, the baby is expelled from the womb through the birth canal by both the uterine contractions and by powerful abdominal contractions ("bearing down"). The baby is most commonly born head-first. With difficulty, babies can be delivered in the "breech" position where the baby's rear is delivered first and the legs are folded onto the baby's body. Babies in a "footling breech" position should not be delivered via vaginal birth.
The last stage of labour occurs about a quarter to a half-hour after the baby is born; in this stage, the placenta or afterbirth is expelled.
The duration of labour varies wildly, but averages some 13 hours for women giving birth to their first child ("primiparae") and 8 hours for women who have already given birth.
Due to the relatively-large size of the human skull and the shape of the human pelvis forced by the erect posture, human childbirth is more difficult and painful for the mother than that of other mammals. A variety of anaesthetics have come into use to alleviate labour pains.
Complications occasionally arise during childbirth; this can require interventions such as Caesarian section. In the past, a great many women died during or shortly after childbirth (see puerperal fever) but modern medical techniques available in industrialized countries have greatly reduced this total.
The medical science of childbirth is obstetrics; a doctor who specializes in attending births is an obstetrician. A person who is not a doctor but who is specially trained to assist at births is a midwife.
Usually soon after birth the parents assign the infant its given names. They may have two sets of names in mind, one for if it is a boy, and one for if it is a girl.
Often people visit and bring a gift for the baby.

Max Born (December 11, 1882 - January 5, 1970) was a German mathematician and physicist and was the only child of Gustav Born and Margarete Kauffmann. He is also the maternal grandfather of British-born Australian singer and actress Olivia Newton-John.
Initially educated at the König-Wilhelm-Gymnasium, Born went on to study at the University of Breslau followed by Heidelberg University and Zurich University. During this period he came into contact with many prominent scientists and mathematicians including Klein, Hilbert, Minkowski, Runge, Schwarzschild, and Voigt.
In 1909 he was appointed a lecturer at the University of Göttingen where he worked until 1912 when he moved to work at the University of Chicago. In 1919 after a period in the German army he became a professor at the University of Frankfurt am Main, and then professor at Gottingen, 1921. During this period, he formulated the now-standard interpretation of the probability density for ψ*ψ in the Schrodinger equation of quantum mechanics, for which he was awarded the Nobel prize, some three decades later. In 1933 due to the anti-Semitic government activity at the time he went to lecture at Cambridge University, til 1936 and Edinburgh University, til 1953. After World War II, Max and Hedwig Born retired from England, to Germany, but his children remained in the Commonwealth.
His published works include Dynamics of Crystal Lattices, Optics, Natural Philosophy of Cause and Chance and Zur Quantummechanik. He was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Physics, the Stokes Medal and the 1950 Hughes Medal. In Natural Philosophy of Cause and Chance, Born solves Kant's puzzle of the Ding an Sich, the thing in itself. See also: The Born-Einstein Letters.
