Glossary of Terms

Vaginal birth
Delivery of the infant through the birth canal, of which the vagina is a major component. The alternative method would be an operative delivery (cesarean section).
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
