What does the speed of finger opening depend on?

Dilation is the opening of the cervix, also known as dilation of the cervical opening. During this whole process, pregnant mothers move fast and slow at times. So what does the opening speed depend on? What kind of pregnant mother has a fast dilation? Let’s take a look together.

1. Pregnant mothers with sufficient fertility

The delivery of a pregnant mother requires not only the diligence of the baby itself, but also the energy of the pregnant mother. She needs to have sufficient labor power during delivery. The key factors of labor force include: uterine contraction force, abdominal muscle and diaphragm contraction force, among which uterine contraction force is more important. One of the signs that a pregnant woman is about to give birth is long-term and periodic uterine contractions. Uterine contraction means uterine contraction force, and its main function is to help dilate the cervical opening. In other words, if the pregnant woman's own uterine contraction force is not enough, the rate of cervical dilation will be much slower. Therefore, if the pregnant mother has sufficient labor power, the cervix will dilate faster. At this time, the pregnant mother can replenish the body's food more before delivery and store sufficient energy for the body. It is also necessary to check the physical fitness of the pregnant mother during pregnancy to see if there are symptoms of anemia, which will have a certain impact on the delivery of the pregnant mother.

2. Pregnant mothers giving birth for the second time

As we all know, medically speaking, the first stage of labor, that is, the process of dilation of the cervix, takes 11-12 hours. For first-time mothers, perhaps because the body has already been opened once, the time it takes to open again is nearly half of the first time, which means it only takes 6-8 hours. Therefore, generally speaking, the cervix of pregnant women who are giving birth for the second time will dilate faster than those who are giving birth for the first time! It is easier for them to choose natural delivery and they will suffer less pain from dilation.

3. Pregnant mothers with correct fetal position

Fetal position is an important factor affecting the delivery of pregnant women. Generally, if the baby's fetal position is normal, the pregnant mother can give birth successfully if she has sufficient labor force. However, if the baby is in a transverse position, including a breech position (the baby's buttocks facing down) or a leg position (the baby's legs facing down), it will affect the pregnant mother's choice of natural delivery. Even if there is sufficient labor force, it will not help. Therefore, it is very important to check the fetal position before delivery. This also affects the speed at which pregnant women's cervix opens.

4. Pregnant mothers with stable emotions

The mood of the pregnant mother during childbirth will affect the entire delivery. Childbirth is more or less very anxious. After all, it is a major event in life, and anxiety is inevitable! If the pregnant mother cannot control her mood at this time, the pregnant woman who is too anxious will have a slow opening speed of the muscles in the body, which will make the dilation time longer.

Therefore, when pregnant women are giving birth, their relatives should give them appropriate encouragement and comfort to help them stabilize their mentality, control their anxiety level, and relieve their emotions. At this moment, the opening of the finger will be smoother and the time will be relatively reduced.
