Patient's question:
I started having regular contractions in the afternoon a couple of days ago, so I came to the hospital the night before. But as of today, my dilation has only reached two fingers. The doctor at the hospital said my dilation is too slow. I would like to consult on how to speed up dilation during a natural birth.Doctor's answer:
According to the information you provided, when is your due date? If the cervix opens slowly, you can do some appropriate exercise. When you have free time, you can gently pinch your nipples to stimulate them and promote cervical ripening. During pregnancy, pay attention to observing the baby's fetal movement. If all conditions are mature, you can also receive induction of labor. If you are not sure, it is recommended that you consult with the gynecology and obstetrics department of a local regular public hospital. Pay attention to personal hygiene and wear breathable underwear.
