The exact time of opening of the uterus after cervical softening varies greatly from one woman to another, and some women may experience opening of the uterus within 1 week, while others may experience opening of the uterus after 1 month. The time of opening of the uterus should be determined according to the progress of labor and the degree of tenderness. In late pregnancy, due to the influence of hormones in the body, the cervix may soften and shorten. However, cervical softening only represents a softening of the cervical texture and cannot be used to estimate the time of opening of the uterus. In addition, for some menstruating mothers, the opening of the uterus can occur when the cervix softens, while for primigravid women, the opening of the uterus occurs gradually after the cervix has completely softened. After the cervix has gradually softened, the opening of the uterine orifice can be caused by regular uterine contractions as the fetal head descends. In general, the opening of the cervix is dilated to the size of ten fingers before delivery in the delivery bed. In addition, after the cervix has softened, pregnant women should prepare for the birth, pay attention to emotional regulation and avoid excessive tension.
