Before giving birth, expectant mothers can prepare a delivery bag in advance to avoid being flustered in case of unexpected situations. Many novice mothers who have their first child and have little understanding of the delivery process may have a fear. Below, the editor has collected some information about how long it takes for pregnant women to give birth in the delivery room, hoping to help everyone increase their understanding in this area.
Normally, expectant mothers can give birth within a few hours after entering the delivery room. It is also related to individual physical condition, and if there are indeed difficult delivery situations, timely cesarean section can be considered.
When the mother feels regular contractions, the first stage of labor begins. Normally, it takes about 11-12 hours for primiparous women and 6-8 hours for multiparous women to fully open the cervix, starting with regular contractions that take 5-6 minutes. Of course, there are also special times, some longer and some shorter. During this time, most of the time is not spent in the delivery room. Generally, it takes four or five fingers to enter the delivery room, and the time is usually within 5 hours. In special circumstances, fertility injections may be given to speed up the process.
When the cervix fully expands to 10 fingers, the second stage of labor begins, and it usually takes 1-2 hours for primiparous women to give birth to their baby; Postpartum women can usually complete the second stage of labor in a few minutes, but there are also cases that can last up to an hour. The duration of the second stage of labor varies from person to person, and at this time, the mother's personal cooperation and strength skills still need to be considered. After the baby is successfully delivered, it enters the third stage of labor, which takes about 5-15 minutes until the placenta is detached. The time required for primiparous and multiparous women does not exceed half an hour.
Through the above, both expectant mothers and fathers will have a more basic or comprehensive understanding of how long it takes for a pregnant woman to give birth after entering the delivery room, which will relieve our tense mood. Mothers are very great, whether it's during the entire pregnancy or the first few hours of delivery, expectant fathers should give expectant mothers more care and love in order to better alleviate their emotions.
