Some times you wonder why you are still shouting, having all the pains and your midwife is still asking you to hold on!

She checks and says, it’s only 1 cm dilated.

After a long wait or 4 hours, she rechecks and says it just 3cm.

You feel it’s been too long and the pain is unbearable so you should push your baby out.

This is why you should cooperate with your doctor or midwife.

The cervix which is the opening of the cervix should open from 1cm to 10 cm to allow the baby’s head to be birthed followed by the body.

Cervix should not be felt any more when your doctor or midwife performs vaginal examination.

If it’s still felt and you push through it, you can tear your cervix which is difficult to repair and requires special skills. Bleeding can also be severe.

Only push when your doctor or midwife has confirmed that you are fully dilated. (10 cm and no cervix can be felt on vaginal examination)
