The softening of the cervix is not a key factor in determining labor. The softening of the cervix only indicates that the cervix has matured and can be used as an indication for the delivery of the fetus. During pregnancy and delivery, the cervix gradually softens and begins to dilate, and the opening of the uterus widens from closed to 10 cm, opening the first door for the smooth delivery of the fetus. The time of the opening of the cervix is not clear, as the condition of the cervix varies from person to person and the time of the opening of the cervix varies. Therefore, pregnant women do not need to worry too much after the cervix becomes soft, they can perform appropriate gymnastic exercises to enhance the tension and elasticity of the abdominal muscles, lumbar and back muscles and pelvic floor muscles, which will help the muscles relax and reduce the resistance of the birth canal, which will enable the fetus to pass through the birth canal faster during delivery. If there is a regular contraction, as shown by a contraction of about 30 seconds every 3-5 minutes, or at the same time there is redness, water breakage and other manifestations, generally in about 24 hours will enter the state of labor, pregnant women ready to go to the hospital in time for delivery can be. Before delivery, you need to pay attention to nutrition and rest properly to preserve your strength for delivery.
