"Open five fingers, open seven fingers, almost born", whether you have given birth to a baby or not, it seems that the birth term of "opening a few fingers" is very well understood, but if you really want to ask what is the opening of ten fingers, I believe that few mothers can say it clearly.
If the baby wants to meet with his parents smoothly, he must go through the checkpoint of the palace, so how big a baby does the palace have to open to give birth smoothly?
I believe that every mother knows that it is ten fingers, but what is ten fingers? How do you know if you've opened ten fingers? I heard that childbirth and "physical examination" are more suitable!
Open finger = open uterine mouth
Opening the uterine opening, also known as cervical orifice dilation. Normally, the opening of the cervix is open about the interval of one fingertip.
As labour stops, the uterine orifice gradually expands until it is open enough to allow a normal-sized fetus to pass, that is, 10 cm in diameter, and the whole process is called opening the uterine opening.
The cervical canal is about 2 cm long and is a muscular canal that connects the vagina and the uterine cavity.
The intensification of maternal contractions before delivery prompts the expansion of muscles and fibrous tissue around the uterine orifice, while the fetus enters the pelvis to gradually expand the uterine orifice, and the cervical canal will become shorter or even disappear.
Opening ten fingers = having a baby
The whole process of childbirth is divided into 3 stages, also known as 3 stages of labor.
The first stage of labour, i.e. the expansion of the uterine orifice;
The second stage of labour, i.e. the delivery phase of the fetus;
The third stage of labour, placental delivery, refers to the process of fetal delivery to placenta discharge.
The process of opening the uterine opening is relatively slow, and the cervix is usually gradually flattened in the second week after the 9th month of pregnancy. The opening of the uterine opening is a few fingers in size, which has a lot to do with when the baby is born.
When the Uterine Gate opened 1 finger size, it showed that the mother-to-be was in labor, but had not really given birth. Pay attention to changes in fetal movements, and go to the hospital at any time if there is an abnormality.
Usually, when the uterine opening is 3 fingers in size, the mother-to-be can enter the delivery room;
It generally takes a relatively long time from the opening of the uterine mouth to the opening of 3 fingers to the opening of the whole;
When the mouth of the palace opened 10 fingers, the mother-to-be has entered the beat of giving birth to a baby, come on!
Usually, the first labor of the mother who gives birth to the first child will be relatively long, basically about 12 hours, and the opening of the uterine opening is relatively slow.
At this time, it is the stage of fear of many expectant mothers, because the opening of the uterine opening will be accompanied by labor pain, and the gradual increase of labor pain represents that the "index" of the uterus is increasing, just like the whirlwind before the storm, for people who have a smooth birth, it can only be said. Just enter the labor force, there is boundless pain always with you!
How the doctor checks the uterine opening with a few fingers
Although the intensity of the pain is said to be able to know how many fingers the mother opens in the eyes of the older generation, it is not reliable, and the only person who really knows the condition of the uterine opening is the medical staff.
It turns out that after the fetal head lands in the pelvis, the birth canal of the expectant mother will be naturally relaxed, preparing for the delivery of the baby soon after.
At this time, the doctor's inspection of the opening of the uterine opening mainly has two methods: inspection and referral. Naturally, there is no need to say much about the observation, and the finger diagnosis is somewhat "doorway".
The digital examination is divided into vaginal examination and examination, the doctor will wear sterile gloves before starting the examination, and then put the finger into the mother's vagina, and measure the opening of the uterine opening with the finger.
examination is usually done before giving birth, which is due to the fact that the space between the vagina and the cervical opening is not long, and the peritoneum between them is relatively thin, so it can be viewed with fingers.
However, before giving birth, because whether the uterine opening is open or not, repeated vaginal examinations can easily lead to iatrogenic infections, so it is generally judged by the finger diagnosis of the anus.
How exactly is "open a few fingers" measured
The doctor is to stop examining how large the uterine opening is expanded with a finger.
Usually, one finger is 1 cm, and opening ten fingers means that the uterine opening is 10 cm. In fact, most people's fingers are wider than 1 cm, usually a palm width is close to 8-9 cm. The so-called opening of ten fingers is not to put all ten fingers in the uterine mouth to measure.
Repeat the last sentence ten times aloud! How many mothers have put all ten fingers at the entrance of the uterus when they first heard that they were opening ten fingers! Almost scared to pee okay? A mother-to-be said, "Oh, I always thought it was all ten fingers stuffed into the uterine mouth, and I had to put it in to have a baby"... Let's make up for it quickly and don't "wronged" the medical staff.
Generally, when 3 fingers are opened, the mother-to-be will enter the delivery room, and it generally takes a long time to open 3 fingers to open 10 fingers. The process of opening the uterine opening requires the efforts of the pregnant mother herself, otherwise the fetus will always be stuck in the stomach!
A quick way to open the uterine opening
Walk back and forth
If the pregnant mother is in a better state, there are handrails on the walls of the obstetrics department, and you can walk back and forth, which is very helpful for accelerating the opening of the uterine opening!
In "The Legend of Hot Mom", there is a picture of Sun Li walking around the delivery room with labor pains, and when he can't hold on, he lets her husband talk about the disadvantages of caesarean section, in order to have a smooth delivery is better for the baby, the mothers are also fighting hard.
Calving health sphere
There is usually a yoga ball in the delivery room, you can move left and right under the guidance of the medical staff, and the most important thing is to open your legs and use a little force, instead of sitting on your husband's lap!
Of course, the most important thing is to follow the doctor's advice according to your own situation.
