How long does it take to give birth to the first baby?

There is a long interval between the first and second pregnancies of women, and some women had a caesarean section for their first child, but can have a normal delivery when they are pregnant with their second child. This is a very good situation, but it is also necessary to understand the process of delivery. So, how long does it take for the second child to be conceived after the cervix is ​​one finger dilated?

How long does it take for the cervix to be one finger dilated to conceive the second child?

The cervix is ​​usually closed during pregnancy to protect the normal growth and development of the fetus in the uterus. During labor or induction, the cervix gradually opens due to uterine contractions, allowing the fetus to be delivered. Generally, one-finger dilation of the cervix means that the width of the cervix opening can only accommodate a medium thumb, about 1 cm.

At the same time, look at the speed at which the cervix opens. If it opens more than one finger, it should only be about one centimeter. Generally, the baby can be born only when the cervix is ​​adjusted to about 10 centimeters, and labor and delivery usually begins after it is 3 or 4 centimeters dilated. When it is about 4 cm dilated, the cervix will dilate rapidly. If you want your baby to be born as soon as possible, then you need to walk more. Let the cervix open faster, the doctor told me when I was giving birth. But I suggest that you should go to the hospital to give birth, and then walk around in the hospital for a while. If the cervix opens quickly, the baby will be born soon. A doctor can help.

The first stage of labor refers to the period from the beginning of uterine contractions to the full dilation of the cervix (10 cm). It takes about 11-12 hours for a first-time mother and about 6-8 hours for a primipara. If the cervix is ​​dilated more than one finger, it is in the first stage of labor. If it is not dilated to 3 centimeters, it will take several hours (the specific time cannot be estimated. Whether the pregnant woman's delivery can be successfully completed depends on three basic factors: labor force, birth canal, and fetus). The time for primipara will be shorter. Once the cervix is ​​fully dilated, it will enter the second stage of labor. First-time mothers will have a more complete labor. Go for it. Give pregnant women enough confidence.

What to do if the cervix does not move

The muscle that expands the cervix into the uterus is called the soft birth gate. The situation in which the muscle hardens and the cervix cannot open is called "soft birth gate rigidity". Due to the effects of testosterone and pain, the cervix becomes loose, but if the soft birth gate does not move, you can rely on medication or perform a caesarean section.

1. Carry out delivery according to specific circumstances: Due to the influence of growth hormone, the cervix gradually loosens, and the compression of the fetal head causes the cervix of the pregnant woman to expand. However, the health status and mood of the pregnant woman will affect the opening and closing of the cervix. The most important thing is that pregnant women should understand that obvious pain and the opening and closing of the cervix are closely related.

2. The cervix is ​​open but the pain is too weak: If the pain is strong but the cervix is ​​not open, the baby will not be born easily. Only when the two aspects develop at the same time will the fetus be born. Muscle tension can cause muscles to stiffen. A very simple example is when you clench your fist, your palm becomes hard, and when you loosen your fist, your palm becomes loose. By the same token, if the mood is comfortable and the body is relaxed, the cervix will open easily. In fact, anxiety is of no benefit to choosing natural childbirth. Pregnant women should welcome childbirth with a relaxed mental state. Generally speaking, the delivery situations of siblings will be very similar. If the pregnant woman has biological sisters, she can consult them about delivery.
