How long will it take to give birth after the pelvis is fully entered?

When the pregnancy is coming to an end, the baby is preparing for birth. Regardless of whether the baby is head up or head down, the baby will enter the pelvic stage. Therefore, it is very important to correct the fetal position before the fetus enters the pelvis. In addition, you should go to the hospital to check whether the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck. Only in this way can you decide whether a natural birth is possible. Generally, the baby will enter the pelvic stage in the last month of acquaintance. How long will it take to give birth after the baby enters the pelvis?

How long will it take for the fetus to be born after it enters the pelvis?

How long it will take for birth to occur after the fetus enters the pelvis, just like the time the fetus enters the pelvis, varies from person to person. Expectant mothers who are pregnant for the first time can usually give birth 2 to 3 weeks after the fetus enters the pelvis, while expectant mothers who have given birth before will go into labor immediately after the fetus enters the pelvis. However, the relationship between pelvic engagement and delivery time is not definite, and different expectant mothers may have the same situation.

As pregnancy comes to an end, the fetus in the womb is silently preparing for birth. Some expectant mothers enter the pelvis at more than 32 weeks of pregnancy, and they will have to wait for a while before giving birth. Therefore, early engagement of the pelvis does not necessarily mean early delivery. Engagement of the pelvis only means that the baby's fetal position and head shape are suitable for the pelvis. Some expectant mothers' fetuses do not enter the pelvis when they give birth, but continue to enter the pelvis while giving birth. Other expectant mothers' fetuses enter the pelvis shallowly, but the fetuses float out again within two days.

What to do if the fetus does not enter the pelvis

Generally speaking, in the last month of pregnancy, the fetal head of a normal primipara should enter the pregnant woman's pelvis and be connected to the pelvis without floating. However, in a few pregnant women, the fetal head still does not enter the pelvis when the pregnancy is full-term, but floats above the pubic symphysis, which is called primipara head floating.

Possible reasons for this situation: First, some pregnant women have a narrow pelvis, and the fetal head is not proportional to the pelvis, which makes it impossible for the fetal head to enter the pelvis. Second, if the fetal head is too large, or the fetal position is abnormal, or there is placenta previa, this phenomenon may occur even if the pregnant woman's pelvis is normal. Third, fetal hydrocephalus or excessive amniotic fluid can also cause it. In addition, some primiparas do not have the above reasons, but the fetal head still does not enter the pelvis.

When the head floats during first delivery, the expectant mother does not need to be nervous. If the pelvis and fetus are normal, she can cooperate closely with the doctor. After delivery, due to the squeezing of the uterine contraction, the fetal head will also deform into the pelvis, so vaginal delivery can still be successful.

However, if the examination finds that the floating head is caused by uncorrectable pathological factors, you need to be prepared for surgical delivery. If premature rupture of membranes and leakage of amniotic fluid occurs at this time, the patient should stay in bed with hips raised, and be rushed to the hospital immediately, because this situation is very likely to cause umbilical cord prolapse, which may cause an accident to the fetus.
