Anatomy of the external genitalia, the uterus and ovaries and the pelvic floor will be explored. Pregnancy and the changes that this brings for the mother will be discussed as well as parturition, its control by hormones and drugs which affect them. Finally the change that the foetus undergoes as it is translated from intrauterine to a free existence will be described.
