For the early period, rare and soft fights are typical. They are not painful and do not cause anxiety. The duration of the I period is different for everyone - from several hours to several days. It is not necessary to give any special help to the child in this moment. It is not a bad idea to prepare the neck for the birth act several weeks before the happy event. The rapid opening of the channel occurs in the second period. At this time, contractions are markedly increased, and the interval between them is shortened. The fetus bursts and the water comes off. By this time the channel should be smoothed and open at 5-8 cm. In the third period, active labor begins. A woman feels frequent and painful contractions, strong pressure of the baby's head on the pelvic floor causes it to actively push. The cervical canal is fully opened, and the baby is born.

There is a fight, but there is no disclosure - what to do?

The process of preparing for childbirth does not always go smoothlysmoothly. Often contractions are already underway, but the cervical canal is not fully open. What to do in this case? First, stop being nervous. Stress and fear inhibit the production of prostaglandins, which causes muscle spasms and slows down labor. Second, listen to the doctor and do everything he says. There is no need to take any action, argue or be capricious. Having sex will help prepare for childbirth. Moreover, it is not the act itself that is important, but the prostaglandins contained in the sperm, which accelerate the maturation of the canal. To stimulate the opening, drug and non-drug methods are used. The former include the use of antispasmodics and drugs that enhance labor. In severe cases, epidural anesthesia is used or a cesarean section is performed. Non-drug methods include a cleansing enema or Foley catheter. If treatment is ineffective, the canal is expanded manually. Induction of dilation is performed only in a hospital, since the procedure can cause rapid labor. When preparing to give birth, think only about the good. And leave all medical problems to the doctors.
