Patient's question:
Patient is a 28-year-old female who is nearing her due date and feeling a bit anxious. She asked the doctor whether it is common to have the cervix dilate first or for the water to break first during childbirth.Doctor's answer:
This friend, according to your description, does a pregnant woman usually dilate first or break water first? Everyone is different. Under normal circumstances, it should first show regular contractions. When the cervix is close to being fully dilated, the fetal membrane naturally breaks. However, there are also many cases where the fetal membrane breaks early before regular contractions appear. When the water breaks, you must go to the hospital, be admitted in time, and await delivery. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you. Wishing you health!
