What does the term crowning mean? What is the "normal" birth position of a fetus (what part of the body is delivered first)? Why is this position easier to birth a child?

Answer:

the head is the part of the body that is deliverd first.this is when you can see the top of your baby's head through the opening of your vulva . This moment happens during the second stage of labor, when you push and deliver your newborn. Once your baby crowns, you push out the rest of their body. normal position of the fetus is that of which the baby is faceing reward which is toward the womens back when the face and the body angled to one side with the neck flexed and the presentation is head first

it makes it easier for the baby to pass down the birth canal
