What are the symptoms of cervical dilation?

The uterus is an organ that women pay close attention to and is also a vital organ for women, because the uterus is not only a tool for pregnancy, but also the main force for maintaining female characteristics. The uterus's ability to become pregnant varies from person to person, but generally speaking it depends on the degree of openness of the cervix. The chance of pregnancy can only increase after the cervix is ​​dilated. What are the manifestations of cervical dilation?

What does it feel like to open your uterus?

When the cervix is ​​fully open, it can reach about 10 centimeters (that is, ten fingers). During the process of opening the cervix, the speed of opening varies from person to person. Generally speaking, the cervix opens slowly at first, then speeds up. If you count from the beginning of labor, the delivery process for most first-time mothers takes 8-10 hours.

When the cervix opens to 4 cm, close to the halfway mark, it takes the longest time for the mother to dilate. After that, the contractions will become more intense, and when the cervix is ​​dilated to 6 cm, the speed will increase a lot, especially from about 8 cm to full opening, which takes a very short time.

The whole process of opening the uterus:

1. Initial delivery (interval between contractions is about 5-10 minutes per time): The abdominal pain is relatively weak, the uterine contractions are regular, and the cervix is ​​just slightly opened.

2. The longest period (the interval between contractions is about 4 to 5 minutes per time): the contractions intensify and last longer, and the cervix is ​​half open.

3. The most difficult stage (the interval between contractions is about 2 to 3 minutes per time): This is the most painful time for the mother. Not only does the pain become stronger and stronger, but she cannot exert any strength no matter what she does, and feels extremely helpless. But hold on, expectant mothers, victory is coming.

4. Birth is imminent (the interval between contractions is about 1 minute per time): At this time, the cervix has been completely opened, and the entire birth canal from the cervix to the vagina is smoothly connected. As long as the mother cooperates with the medical staff to push hard, she can meet the baby immediately.
