How long after the cervix is opened will labor begin?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how long after the uterus is opened will I give birth?

Doctor's answer:

Actually, it's quite difficult to answer your question because at 38 weeks, with the cervix dilating by one centimeter, it's not necessarily that labor will occur in the next few hours. The time it takes for the cervix to dilate varies from person to person—some open quickly, while others open slowly.
Hello, you can have intercourse during this time. If you're trying to conceive, and you experience ovulation bleeding, which coincides with ovulation, it's perfectly fine to have intercourse. However, before doing so, it's best for the male partner to clean the penis. If possible, he can first rinse it with alcohol, then thoroughly wash it with clean water.
