Emergency Childbirth — Supporting the Baby

 

  1. Most babies emerge headfirst. As the baby begins to emerge, support the head. The baby will naturally turn to one side, and the rest of the body will follow.

     

  2. Support the rest of the body as it emerges. CAUTION: Do not pull on the baby.
