Labor at birth is a completely normal physiological process for all pregnant women to help bring the fetus and its appendages out of the body. Each woman will have different signs of labor about to give birth and monitoring the onset of labor will help this process go on safely and smoothly.
Labor is a progressive process of many phenomena, the most important being labor contractions that make the cervix gradually dilate and as a result, the fetus and placenta are expelled. The process of labor involves a combination of labor cycles and cervical dilation, resulting in the delivery of the fetus and placenta. The duration of labor varies from person to person and depends on many factors, such as the force of contractions of contractions, the genital tract, the mother's pelvis or the whole fetus, and the size of the fetal head. In women who have given birth, labor usually lasts longer than women who have given birth because the cervix opens more slowly and the perineum is firmer, with an average duration of 16 to 24 hours, while the cervix is only 8 to 16 o'clock.
The stages of labor include:
Stage 1: Cervical dilation, this period from actual labor until the cervix is fully dilated: average time is 15 hours. This period is divided into 2 periods:
Latent period: 8 hours. Operating time: 7 hours. Stage 2: Pregnancy from the time the cervix is fully dilated until the pregnancy comes out.
Compare: 30 minutes – 2 hours, average 50 minutes. Straw: 15 minutes – 1 hour, average 20 minutes. Stage 3: The placenta is delivered from the time the placenta is delivered to the time the placenta comes out for an average of 5-30 minutes.
Pregnant women can know that they are about to give birth through signs of labor such as: pink mucus discharge, uterine contractions, amniotic fluid flow and changes through vaginal examination...
In short, If there is one of the above signs of labor, pregnant women need to go to the hospital immediately to monitor the progress of labor as well as be ready to respond if necessary.
