After the due date, most women will go to the hospital to wait for delivery and observe whether there are any signs of childbirth. Before giving birth, it is also necessary to undergo examinations. Some pregnant women have already reached two fingers after the examination, and when they reach ten fingers, they are about to give birth. So how long does a pregnant woman take from two fingers to ten fingers?
Pregnant women need about four to five hours to move from two fingers to ten fingers. If abdominal pressure is actively used at this time, delivery can be smooth in about two hours. Generally, the cervix opens up to two fingers, which is 3 to 4 centimeters in size. At this time, it enters the active phase, and the contractions during the active phase last for a relatively long time with a short interval between them. The speed of fetal descent and dilation of the cervix is also strong, and after entering the active phase, maternal fetal monitoring is necessary.
If the labor process progresses well and the fetal position is normal, abdominal pressure can be used before and after the cervix is fully opened. The pregnant woman will cooperate with the guidance of nurses and doctors to deliver. Before the cervix is fully opened in pregnant women, it is not advisable to exert force too early, otherwise it may lead to cervical edema and cervical laceration, which will increase the difficulty of delivery.
Before giving birth, family members also need to prepare the items they need after giving birth. Toiletries, baby clothes, bottles, formula, cups, sanitary napkins, etc. will all be used after the baby is born, and family members should also take good care of pregnant women during this period.
