Patient's question:
My wife started having contractions around 6:00 PM, but she still can't give birth. How long after the amniocentesis will the contractions last before she can give birth?Doctor's answer:
If you feel contractions and the amniotic fluid has already broken, the duration might be extended. However, the specific timing depends on each individual's constitution. Some may open their pelvic bones quickly, while others may take longer. If the pregnant woman is in pain, it is recommended to engage her in other topics to distract her. Additionally, any discomfort must be reported to the doctor to prevent a situation where the fetus is choking on amniotic fluid.
