By eight weeks, in the embryonic stage, the face is forming, arms and legs move, the baby's heart begins beating and the brain and other organs form.
Labor is divided into three distinct stages. In the first stage one labor, the cervix dilates (opens) and effaces (thins), allowing the descent of the baby toward birth. During second stage of labor, the baby passes through the birth canal and is born. The third stage of labor involves the delivery of the placenta.
