The statement 'intense contractions occur'  is NOT true about stage 3 of the birthing process (Option C).

The labor has four (4) well-defined stages:

  1. First stage: dilation of the uterus cervix (opens to 10cm dilated)
  2. The second stage refers to the delivery of the baby.
  3. The third stage refers elimination of the placenta.
  4. Fourth stage or recovery stage

  • The third stage starts when the baby is already born and finishes with the expulsion of the placenta through the vagina.

In conclusion, the statement 'intense contractions occur'  is NOT true about stage 3 of the birthing process (Option C).
