Childbirth

Childbirth is the culmination of pregnancy, where one or more babies exit the mother's uterus through vaginal delivery or cesarean section. Coursera's Childbirth catalogue teaches you the physiological processes, medical interventions, and best practices involved in labor and delivery. You'll learn to understand the stages of labor, recognize signs of complications, assist with pain management techniques, and support mothers through postpartum recovery. This knowledge empowers healthcare professionals, doulas, and expectant parents to ensure safe, positive birthing experiences and optimal outcomes for both mother and baby.
