What term is used when describing a baby that has just exited the birth canal?

The term used to describe a baby that has just exited the birth canal is "delivery." Delivery refers to the process of the baby being born and is marked by the moment the baby leaves the mother's body, which typically occurs after the expulsion phase of labor when the baby is fully birthed.

The term "expulsion" specifically pertains to the entire stage during which the baby is being pushed through and out of the birth canal, but it does not accurately denote the moment of complete birth.

"Labor" refers to the entire process leading up to the delivery, including the stages of dilation and effacement of the cervix, culminating in the delivery itself.

"Engagement" is a term used earlier in the birthing process to describe the baby's position as it enters the pelvis before labor starts.

In summary, while "expulsion" describes part of the birthing process, "delivery" is the term that accurately captures the moment when the baby is born.
