Patient's question:
Today the cervix is dilating. I went to the hospital for a long time but the baby hasn't been born yet. I want to ask how long does the pain in the pubic bone last before labor begins?Doctor's answer:
If the cervix is already dilated, and the baby hasn't been born yet, it's necessary to consider whether it's due to the baby's head and placenta not aligning properly, or if the stimulation isn't effective enough to cause uterine contractions. Alternatively, it could be that the uterus itself lacks sufficient contractility, leading to this situation. Currently, options include administering oxytocin or gently touching the baby's head to determine if it's too large to pass through the smallest diameter of the birth canal. This could result in such a scenario.
