How long does it take to give birth if the contractions occur every 5 minutes?

The pregnant woman is about to give birth, and she is both excited and anxious. Before giving birth, pregnant women need to experience the pain of uterine contractions. Uterine contractions are not something that ordinary people can bear, but women can do it, so women are strong and outstanding. Some pregnant women experience uterine contractions and pain every five minutes and want to give birth quickly. How long will it take?

1. The uterus contracts and hurts every five minutes. This is a regular pattern and the baby should be born soon, but there is also the possibility of false uterine contractions. If a pregnant woman wants to know whether she is about to give birth, she can do an internal examination to see how dilated the cervix is. The pain has been gone for five minutes. At this time, the cervix should be dilated to more than three fingers at most. The cervix needs to be dilated to ten fingers before childbirth can take place.

2. The main symptom of childbirth is periodic uterine contractions. The rate at which the cervix opens is related to the degree of uterine contractions. If the uterine contractions are relatively regular, the pain will gradually increase and may last for 30 seconds or more, about once every 5 to 6 minutes. The upper abdomen will feel more comfortable than before, the appetite will increase significantly, the breathing will be more cheerful than before, and there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding. These are all signs of delivery.

After the periodic uterine contractions occur, pregnant women do not need to be anxious or exert force. Instead, they should take a deep breath and maintain their energy. The uterus contracts and hurts every five minutes. How long it takes to get pregnant depends on your physical condition. Some people's cervix opens quickly and give birth faster. Pregnant women should stay calm at this time and walk more moderately. Just walking for a while can speed up the delivery process.

Uterine contractions in pregnant women before delivery

The main sign before delivery is regular uterine contractions. The speed of cervical dilation has a great relationship with the degree of uterine contraction. If there are regular and gradually increasing uterine contractions, lasting 30 seconds or more, with an interval of 5 to 6 minutes, the upper abdomen feels more comfortable than before, the appetite increases significantly, the breathing is more brisk than before, and there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding, these are all signs of delivery.

The entire delivery process for the first birth takes about 12 to 18 hours, and for some pregnant women it may take even longer due to some reasons. Therefore, it should be noted that delivery is a process that requires waiting. Uterine contraction plays a leading role in shortening the waiting process.

As uterine contractions increase, on the one hand, it can promote the dilation of the cervical opening and accelerate the progress of the delivery process. On the other hand, it also causes pregnant women to feel heaviness, soreness or tearing pain in the lower abdomen or lumbar sacral area. You should know that every uterine contraction is accompanied by the descent of the baby from the dilation of the cervix, but these are all very slow. Generally, it takes a long time for the cervical opening to dilate to 3 centimeters. Once it reaches 3 centimeters, the delivery process will progress much faster.

The discomfort of pregnant women before delivery varies from person to person, but most of them start with uterine contraction. 12% of pregnant women have their water breaking before the delivery process, which is early water breaking. Regardless of the circumstances of the water breaking, you must go to the hospital, because water breaking sometimes may lead to umbilical cord prolapse, especially when the presenting part is not large or the presenting part has not descended to the pelvis. Therefore, pregnant women should go to the hospital for pregnancy check-up in time to ensure the safety of maternal and child products.
