No one fully understands the role Braxton Hicks contractions play in pregnancy.
They may promote blood flow, help maintain uterine health during the pregnancy, or prepare the uterus for childbirth. Labor and delivery are divided into three stages. The first stage of labor incorporates the onset of labor through the complete dilation of the cervix. This stage is further subdivided into three stages. This is normally the longest and least intense phase of labor.
Early labor is also called the latent phase of labor. This period includes the thinning of the cervix and dilation of the cervix to cm. It can occur over several days, weeks, or just a few short hours.
Contractions vary during this phase and can range from mild to strong, occurring at regular or irregular intervals. Other symptoms during this phase can include backache, cramps, and a bloody mucus discharge. Most women will be ready to go to the hospital at the end of early labor. However, many women will arrive at the hospital or birthing center when they are still in early labor. The next phase of the first stage of labor occurs as the cervix dilates from cm to 7 cm.
Contractions become stronger and other symptoms may include backache and blood. This is the most intense phase of labor with a sharp increase in contractions. They become strong and occur about two to three minutes apart, and average 60 to 90 seconds.
The last 3 cm of dilation usually occur in a very short period of time. During the second stage, the cervix is fully dilated.
The baby may still be high up in the pelvis for other women. Women with an epidural may still have an urge to push and they may feel rectal pressure, although typically not as intensely. This is when your labor coach or doula can be very helpful.
The placenta will be delivered after the baby has been born. Mild contractions will help separate the placenta from the uterine wall and move it down towards the vagina. Stitching to mend a tear or surgical cut episiotomy will occur after the placenta is delivered.
Modern medicine can provide a variety of options to manage pain and complications that can occur during labor and delivery. Some of the medications available include the following.
Narcotic medications are used frequently for pain relief during labor. Use is limited to the early stages because they tend to cause excessive maternal, fetal, and neonatal sedation. Narcotics are generally given to women in labor by intramuscular injection or through an intravenous line. Some centers offer patient-controlled administration.
