Patient's question:
How to deal with drowsiness during labor?Doctor's answer:
If a patient can fall asleep during the intervals of uterine contractions in the second stage of labor, that is a good sign—it's a great rest. Full relaxation allows the smooth muscles of the uterus to relax during these intervals, which helps the cervix to open fully. Don't worry, once you enter the third stage of labor, you won't be able to doze off during contractions. Throughout the labor process, with the assistance and guidance of the midwife staff, you will surely give birth to your baby safely and smoothly.
