What Process Does The Baby Go Through After Delivery?

What process does the baby go through after delivery? The transition from intrauterine life to extrauterine life, including breath and circulation, is what caretakers are generally looking for after delivery.

The immediate thing that we are looking for is the baby breathing and how it's making the transition from intrauterine life to extrauterine life. Most babies makes this transition very smoothly and it happens within the first few moments right after birth and they take their first breath. But once they have got the breathing down they also become responsible for taking care of their circulation and keeping their body temperature up so the care provider is monitoring the baby's body temperature closely to make sure that it is staying warm. So we keep the baby's area warm and help it until its brain can take over the regulation of that part of the body system.
