How to make the cervix open faster?

Pregnant women who choose to give birth naturally need to experience uterine contraction pain. Some pregnant women may need to experience a long period of pain, waiting for the cervix to fully open before the baby can be successfully delivered through the birth canal. So how can you make the cervix open faster if you choose to give birth naturally?

How to make the cervix open faster if you choose natural birth?

1. Massage. When pregnant women are giving birth, they may be in a state of anxiety, so the muscles of the whole body will be tense, making it difficult for the cervix to open. At this time, it is better to find some professionals to give the pregnant women the so-called massage. Massage of the corresponding acupoints can help the pregnant woman's cervix open and lower quickly and relieve pain.

2. Honey water. Pregnant women can drink some honey lemon water appropriately before giving birth. This is because honey lemon water can replenish energy for the body of pregnant mothers, and it is also very beneficial for the opening of the cervix, which can make the delivery process of pregnant mothers smoother, shorten the delivery process and relieve pain.

3. Exercise your body. When you go to the hospital, you will often see some pregnant women running back and forth, in the stairwell or in the delivery room during delivery. In fact, moderate exercise can help open the cervix, and in this way it will also slightly lower the position of the fetus. It is very helpful for pregnant mothers to give birth, but they must be moderate when exercising to avoid accidents.

4. Oxytocin. Many pregnant women feel pain during childbirth, but the cervix is ​​difficult to open, which makes them feel very painful. In fact, they can try an oxytocin injection at this time. This is because the ingredients in the oxytocin injection can change the contraction of the pregnant woman's uterus, and it will also play a certain role in opening the cervix.

Squat up and down. Before the pregnant woman gives birth, if the amniotic fluid has not broken, she can do moderate exercise to promote the opening of the cervix. You can hold the embryo implantation rail and squat up and down, squat for a while, stand up and squat again, and it will pass quickly. You can also walk moderately or climb stairs with the company of a relative, rest for a while when it hurts, and continue walking when it doesn't hurt. This kind of exercise is beneficial to lower the fetal head position and open the cervix. Release stress. Pregnant women should stay calm, relax their stressful mood, avoid anxiety, and try to divert their attention. 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. An anxious mentality is of no benefit to choosing a natural birth. Pregnant women should face childbirth with a stress-relieving mentality. Take a deep breath. Pregnant women should learn to take deep breaths when they are about to give birth. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth to maintain a balance between CO2 and carbon dioxide in your body. Focus on controlling your own breathing, thereby mitigating the pain, properly relaxing the muscles, overcoming tension, and promoting the opening of the cervix, so as to achieve the goal of accelerating the delivery process and allowing the baby to be born safely.

Is natural birth better or caesarean section better?

For the vast majority of women who have regular prenatal checkups and have no complications for the mother or fetus, we still recommend natural childbirth as much as possible. Of course, for those who have some clear indications for cesarean section, such as transverse position, central placenta previa, etc., you should still follow the doctor's advice and choose cesarean section. Generally, when you are around 37 weeks into your pregnancy, your doctor will give you a more effective choice of delivery method based on your pelvic condition, estimated baby weight, and various indicators of the pregnancy test.

For pregnant women, it is better to choose natural childbirth, which is beneficial to the body's recovery, and the baby born through natural childbirth is also smarter. If you choose natural childbirth, you will go through three stages of delivery, and each stage of delivery is very painful. Cesarean section is a method of delivery that pregnant women will choose when they have no choice but to give birth naturally. It can ensure the health of the fetus and the pregnant woman, but the wound healing for women after giving birth is also very painful.

Generally speaking, the reason for choosing a cesarean section is mainly due to reasons related to the pregnant mother. For example, the pregnant woman already suffers from certain diseases and cannot bear the delivery process. At this time, a cesarean section is needed to assist the pregnant woman in giving birth. In some cases, it is a problem with the fetus itself, and a large fetus is one of the reasons. Another is the abnormal fetal position. In this case, if a caesarean section is not chosen, it will cause risks to the pregnant woman's delivery and will also harm the safety of the fetus. There is also a situation where the growth environment of the fetus is not suitable for pregnant women to carry out normal delivery, such as too little amniotic fluid flow, undesirable cervical conditions, etc. No matter which delivery method a pregnant woman chooses, as long as it is beneficial to herself and the fetus, it is appropriate. After giving birth, pregnant women should take good care of their bodies.
