How long will it take to give birth if the cervix is ​​two fingers dilated

Everyone knows that giving birth is a very painful thing for women. This is because before giving birth, when the pregnant woman reaches the labor period, the cervix will slowly open. The baby can only be born when the pregnant woman's cervix and pelvis are fully opened. When the pregnant woman goes to the hospital for a prenatal check-up and finds that the cervix has opened two fingers, it means that the baby is about to be born. Let's take a look at how long it will take for the pregnant woman to give birth after the cervix is ​​opened two fingers?

Regarding this question, the time will be different depending on the body speed of the mother. In general, the cervix will dilate to 10 cm when the baby is born. It is slow at the beginning, and it takes an average of 8 hours from labor to 3 cm dilation of the cervix, and an average of 4 hours from 3 cm dilation of the cervix to 10 cm dilation.

Before the cervix is ​​dilated to 3 centimeters, doctors generally will not give medicine to the mother. Only when the cervix is ​​larger than 3 centimeters will some medicine be used to treat the pain. This indicates that the mother has entered the active phase of labor. The cervix has dilated to 3 cm, the cervix has become soft, thin, and elastic, and the interval between each contraction is 2-3 cm. After delivery, the cervix will gradually dilate with regular uterine contractions.

The first stage of labor can be divided into a latent phase and an active phase, depending on the degree of cervical dilation.

The period from regular uterine contractions to the dilation of the cervix to 3 cm is called the latent period, and the period from the dilation of the cervix to 3-10 cm is called the active period. It should be noted here that the speed at which the cervix dilates is different between primiparas and multiparas. For primiparas, the cervix shortens and flattens first, and then the cervix dilates; while for multiparas, the cervix shortens, flattens, and dilates at the same time. Therefore, the progress of multiparas is obviously faster than that of primiparas, which is also the main reason why the first stage of labor progresses differently between primiparas and multiparas. During the latent period, the cervix dilates more slowly.

The active phase takes less time than the latent phase. The incubation period for primiparas is about 8 hours, and that for multiparas is faster than that for primiparas, but there are large differences between individuals, and the length of the incubation period varies from person to person, ranging from tens of minutes to several hours. The active period of a primipara lasts about 4 hours. After a multipara enters the active period, she should prepare for delivery, because the cervix of a multipara will usually fully dilate soon after entering the active period.

All in all, childbirth is not an easy process, and pregnant mothers must do enough homework before giving birth. The most important thing is that pregnant mothers need to learn to regulate their emotions and not let themselves be too nervous at critical moments. Family members should also be by their side to help them regulate their emotions.
