Which part of the cervix hurts when it opens

I think pregnant mothers all understand the benefits of natural childbirth. Natural childbirth does less harm to the mother's body and the recovery time is much faster than cesarean section. It also has many benefits to the baby's body and growth and development. However, many mothers cannot get over the psychological hurdle, and often worry that they cannot bear the pain when giving birth. In fact, for women, they cannot bear the pain of childbirth. So, where does the pain occur when the cervix opens? We should also have a certain understanding of this issue.

Which part of the cervix hurts when it opens?

1. The beginning and end stages of cervical dilation. The cervical opening begins to open slowly. At this time, the pregnant woman's abdominal contractions are frequent and regular, and there is no pain, about once every 5-10 minutes.

2. In the second stage, the frequent contractions will last longer, and the time interval between each contraction will be shorter. The contractions will be frequent and faster, which will be more painful. The cervix will be almost half open.

3. In the final stage, the pain of pregnant women will become more and more obvious, and the speed will become faster and faster, basically once every three minutes or so. At this time, pregnant women have almost no strength, and it is also the most painful stage.

When uterine contractions are frequent, pregnant women should remember not to lean back or hold their breath. These behaviors will aggravate the pain of uterine contractions. Some pregnant women will experience dizziness during uterine contractions, which is normal. Most of the pain a pregnant woman experiences during childbirth is caused by the dilation of the cervix. In order to relieve the pain of childbirth, it is important to speed up the opening of the cervix. Here I will teach you how to speed up the opening of the cervix. Expectant mothers should also remember the following aspects.

How to open the uterus

1. Develop good habits of regular fitness exercises

Many women who do not exercise regularly during pregnancy need a whole day for their cervix to be adjusted to two fingers wide, so it is important to pay attention to exercise habits. During pregnancy, expectant mothers can take more walks every day and don't have to stay at home all day long. Otherwise, they will inevitably suffer during delivery. Climbing stairs is also okay, you can do it slowly, and persisting in this way will be very helpful in accelerating the dilation of the cervix. Therefore, pregnant mothers should remember: don't stay in bed all day long.

2. You can do weighted squats half a month before delivery

Many pregnant mothers do not have the habit of exercising, are afraid of doing too much exercise, or cannot walk every day during pregnancy for other reasons. Such pregnant women don't need to panic, doing squats half a month before delivery can make up for the loss. The specific steps of weighted squats are: stand with your hands straight forward, feet shoulder-width apart, slowly squat down, and then stand up, repeat this way, once in the morning, noon and evening each day, twenty reciprocating each time. Doing this as early as possible is very helpful in opening the cervix quickly.

3. Release stress during labor

This is also a key step to speed up the dilation of the cervix. It is not uncommon for pregnant mothers to be nervous and anxious, which causes the dilation of the cervix to be very slow. Pregnant women can speed up the opening of the fingers by relaxing pressure and breathing steadily under the guidance of a doctor.

The length of the pain depends on the speed of cervical dilation. The reason why some women cannot persist to the point of choosing natural childbirth is mostly because the cervix dilates very slowly and the pain lasts for a long time and they can't bear it. Therefore, it is not very realistic to choose a natural birth without pain, but expectant mothers can relieve the pain to the greatest extent.
