Methods of shortening the cervical canal during labor include exercise and medication, each of which should be done under the supervision of a doctor. After labor, the decision to exercise or not should be made according to whether the water has broken, and whether medication is needed to speed up labor should be decided according to the contractions and the progress of labor. If there is no water breakage, appropriate activities are generally recommended to accelerate the progress of labor and shorten the cervix; if the water has broken, it is generally not recommended to get out of bed to prevent prolapse of the umbilical cord. If the contractions are weak after labor, the contractions can be strengthened by the intravenous drip of oxytocin to accelerate the progress of labor. If the contractions are good and the progress of labor is up to standard, no special treatment is needed. Excessive strengthening of contractions to accelerate the progress of labor may lead to rapid labor, fetal distress or even uterine rupture. If labor is already in progress, you should not just ask for a quick delivery, but should go through the labor process under the guidance of your doctor.
