A vaginal delivery is the birth of offspring in mammals (babies in humans) through the vagina (also called the "birth canal").[1] It is the most common method of childbirth worldwide.[2] It is considered the preferred method of delivery, as it is correlated with lower morbidity and mortality than caesarean sections (C-sections),[3] though it is not clear whether this is causal.[4]
