When you are about to become a mother, it is important to understand the relevant knowledge of childbirth, one of which is how much the cervix needs to be opened to give birth. After understanding this knowledge, you can know when you are going to have a baby and be mentally prepared in advance to cope with challenges. So, how long until the cervix opens two fingers before delivery?
Generally, it is necessary to reach three fingers during labor, but the time it takes for each mother to reach three fingers is different, usually within 4 to 8 hours. Most mothers give birth within 8 to 10 hours.
So how can we measure the cervix? Be mentally prepared in advance to face the arrival of new life in the best possible state. Measuring the cervix is what we often refer to as an internal examination. At that time, the doctor will wear sterile gloves, insert their hands from the vaginal area, and use their fingers to measure the condition of the cervix. Generally, the width of the fingers is 1 centimeter, and even with ten fingers, not all hands will be extended into the measurement.
So what does it feel like to open the cervix? When it reaches 3 centimeters, there is no sensation, but when it reaches 4 centimeters, it takes the longest time to open the finger, and then there will be severe pain. When it reaches 6 centimeters, the speed will increase, and when it reaches 8 centimeters, it takes a short time to fully open. Of course, mentality is also very important. We must use the best mentality to cope with the challenges ahead.
