How long does it take for the cervix to fully dilate for the first pregnancy?

When a woman is pregnant for the first time, she has little experience and does not know a lot of basic knowledge about pregnancy, so she will always feel anxious and worried. When you reach the later stages of pregnancy and need to give birth, you may be even more worried, not knowing when the cervix will open. Every pregnant woman has a different health condition, and the time it takes for the cervix to open is also different. So, how long does it take for the cervix to open for the first pregnancy?

1. How long does it take for the cervix to fully dilate for the first pregnancy?

1. First of all, if the pregnant woman is giving birth to her first child, the time for the cervix to dilate may be longer. It may take two to three hours for the cervix to dilate by one finger, and it may take more than ten hours for the cervix to dilate completely. However, depending on the physical condition of the pregnant woman, the time of cervical dilation may also be different, so it is not fixed and will not change.

2. Secondly, it may take a long time for a woman to have her cervix dilated and to be able to choose natural delivery. During this process, pregnant women will feel more pain and may be very unbearable. At this time, pregnant women must pay attention to relaxing and not be overly anxious. If you stretch too much, it may cause your uterus to contract more and feel more painful. If the cervix is ​​not dilated, you can walk moderately to help it dilate. It is more conducive to choosing natural childbirth.

3. In addition, if the pregnant woman's cervix does not open for a long time, but the amniotic fluid breaks, or there is spotting during pregnancy, this is a more dangerous situation. If fetal intrauterine hypoxia and other conditions occur, cesarean section should be performed as soon as possible. Do not insist on choosing natural delivery to avoid causing harm to the fetus.

2. Key points and common problems of cervical dilation in pregnant women

1. Pay close attention to the rate at which the cervix fully opens

After the doctor injected oxytocin into the pregnant woman, the rate of cervical dilation increased significantly. During the waves of pain, the pregnant woman's cervix gradually dilated. Because everyone's physical condition is different, the rate of cervical dilation is also different. The doctor will check how much the cervix has dilated every once in a while. Relatives should always pay attention to the doctor's examination results and pay close attention to the rate of cervical dilation.

2. Psychological comfort during cervical opening

After the doctor injects oxytocin into the pregnant woman, the pain will worsen, and the interval of pain will increase, while the duration of pain will increase. At this time, the pregnant woman's pain level is very strong. At this time, you must not stimulate the pregnant woman's mood, because the pregnant woman at this time is very helpless. Relatives and delivery staff should provide psychological comfort to the pregnant woman to ensure her self-confidence in the face of extreme pain. Doing so can speed up the rate of cervical dilation and reduce the pain of the pregnant woman.
