According to WHO data, 800,000 people commit suicide every year in the world, being the third leading cause of death among young people between 15 and 19 years old. But this harsh reality can also occur in stages of life that are socially considered "the happiest", as is the case of the perinatal period, a stage that ranges from pregnancy to one year after delivery.

When we get pregnant, one of the first pieces of information we know about is the probable due date. However, less than five percent...

Dilation is the process of opening the cervix in preparation for labor and a sign that labor is approaching. Dilation can begin weeks before the day of delivery, which is known as early or latent dilation, then leading to active dilation, which is the one that occurs at the time of giving birth.

The first cry of the newborn is the form of expression used to debut in life, although not all babies cry at the time of delivery.

Have you ever wondered what makes some women give birth to their babies at week 38 and others do it at week 41? Have you ever wondered what is the sign that indicates that the baby should be born?

The benefits that hydrotherapy offers during this stage of labor can become so significant that more and more women are choosing to use it and more hospitals are preparing to offer it to their patients.

The gestation of the human being is a complex process with a certain duration that should not be forced. The natural thing, and for that reason the most convenient thing, is that the childbirth is triggered spontaneously, when the physiological mechanisms that cause the labor to begin begin by themselves.
