Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year. After getting pregnant, I felt quite anxious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was already thinking about how to give birth. Please ask; will the cervix open without seeing red or breaking water?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it depends on whether you have abdominal pain, which is essentially whether you have uterine contractions. If there are uterine contractions, for example, starting with one every minutes and gradually becoming more regular—such as every minutes or minutes—one. Even if there is no visible bleeding or water breaking, the cervix may still dilate. In this situation, some women may naturally have their cervix dilate by a few centimeters without abdominal pain. This is a common scenario in clinical diagnosis and may be influenced by false uterine contractions.
