What is the "ring of fire"?

What does that term mean during labor? Lol.... I've been thinking about finding Nemo this whole time and that screws up my thinking 😂😂 And distracts me into wanting to go see finding dory haha.

Answer

I'm a midwife and we call the 'ring of fire' when the head is crowning...the skin of your vagina is all stretched to capacity when the widest part of babies head is being born.
