sanskrit

During a normal labor, the fetus turns its head downwards by virtue of the prasuti maruta (vayu, which regulates the process of delivery) and gets delivered through the vaginal path. Any deviation in this process constitutes abnormality. After delivery, the child starts behaving independently.
