When it is time for a baby to come out of the womb, the person growing the baby will start to feel pains in their stomach and back.
This is when the muscles in the womb start to squeeze – which pushes the baby downwards.
At the same time the opening, or neck, of the womb, which was closed while the baby was growing, starts to open up. This is called labour and it’s very hard work.
