Which part of the finger hurts when it is opened

Dysfunction of the fingers is the phenomenon when the bone joints open during childbirth, and it is very painful, but which part of the fingers hurts? Dermal dilation plus uterine contractions are very painful for the mother, and the pain is usually felt in the abdomen. The pain of childbirth for women can be very agonizing. Some women need several hours to give birth smoothly, while others may take more than ten hours. Finger opening means how many centimeters it is open, one finger means one centimeter.

For ordinary people, time flies, and more than ten hours seem to pass in the blink of an eye. But for a woman in labor, more than ten hours of painful suffering is like a phoenix rising from the ashes. So, what happened during these ten hours? Why does it take so long to give birth to a child?

Doctors divide the entire delivery process into three stages: the first stage of labor, the second stage of labor, and the third stage of labor.

The first stage of labor: It is the longest stage of normal delivery that pregnant mothers have to go through. Generally speaking, it takes 10-12 hours for a mother giving birth to her first baby. If the mother has given birth, the time will be shorter, perhaps 6-8 hours.

Why does the first stage of labor take so long? Because the cervix needs to dilate. It turns out that the cervix is ​​sealed to ensure a safe environment for the fetus and prevent the invasion of foreign pathogens. When it comes time to give birth, the baby needs to come out and the cervix needs to open.

The cervical gate is usually closed very tightly. It is not so easy to open it! The uterus needs to contract continuously to open it slowly! When the uterus contracts, it will stretch or tear the uterine muscle fibers, which will make people feel: pain! Pain! Pain!

During the cervical dilation stage, the obstetrician-gynecologist will wear sterile gloves and reach into the mother's vagina to perform digital examination, using the width of the fingers to compare the degree of cervical dilation. This is commonly known as "a few fingers", and the doctor's 1 finger means 1 cm.

From the beginning of cervical dilation to 3 fingers, the cervix expands slowly, taking about 8 hours, and the pain of uterine contractions is also mild. Generally, when the cervix is ​​dilated to 3 fingers, you will be sent to the delivery room, where medical staff will monitor your fetal heart rate, provide oxygen, etc.
