Does the cervix open faster when giving birth to the third child?

Many women have had multiple pregnancies and childbirths. You may have heard that when a woman gives birth to her first child, her cervix opens slowly and the labor pain is severe. However, when she gets pregnant with her second or third child, the pain is not so severe and the cervix opens quickly. So does the cervix open quickly when giving birth to the third child?

Does the cervix open faster when giving birth to the third child?

The cervix opens relatively quickly when giving birth to the third child, but this is not absolute. Every pregnant woman has a different physical condition and the symptoms that occur are also different. For a mother who is having her third child, the labor process will be relatively short. Generally, there is a possibility of delivery 2 weeks before or after the due date, so in the later stages of pregnancy, you need to be prepared for delivery at any time.

1. During pregnancy, appropriate and frequent activities can also promote the dilation of the cervix and shorten the delivery process. In the later stages of pregnancy, if you experience spotting, a falling belly, back pain, or amniotic fluid rupture, you need to go to the hospital promptly to prepare for delivery. 2. If you experience any symptoms of physical discomfort before and after delivery, you need to seek medical help promptly.

Will giving birth to a third child still be as painful?

If the third child is delivered naturally, it will still be painful. Natural delivery relies on uterine contractions to cause the lower segment to lengthen and the cervix to open. There will be pain during the contraction of the uterus, which is not much different from the first time, and the pain of contractions will become more and more painful. However, after giving birth to two children, the delivery process of the third child may be faster. At the beginning, when the cervix is ​​dilated to 4-5 fingers, you may not feel much, which means that the cervix has already opened before it hurts too much. However, it will be painful when entering the active phase, which means the cervix is ​​more than 6 fingers dilated to fully dilated, and the whole delivery process will be faster. This is mainly because after giving birth to two children, the postpartum uterine contractions will become more and more intense, and the postpartum uterine contraction pain will become more and more painful, and it usually lasts about 3 days before it can be relieved.
