Is the cervix hard enough to give birth?

The cervical hardness can be smooth delivery, but there are certain difficulties and risks.

Under normal circumstances, the cervix will gradually soften and expand during the delivery process, but the cervical hardness will make this process less smooth, and there may be uterine inertia, slow uterine dilation, etc., thus prolonging the labor process and increasing the pain and fatigue of pregnant women. At the same time, a long labor process may cause fetal distress and other problems, requiring medical staff to strengthen the monitoring of the fetus, and take corresponding measures to ensure the safety of the fetus when necessary. At the same time, pregnant women also face the risk of postpartum hemorrhage, infection and other relatively high risk. However, there are many factors affecting normal labor, cervical hardness is only one of them, fetal size, fetal position, pelvic conditions of pregnant women are also very important. If the fetus is small, fetal position is normal, pelvic conditions are good, although cervical hardness may make labor progress relatively slow, but there is still the possibility of normal labor under close monitoring.

Pregnant women should fully communicate with doctors to understand the possibility, risks and alternatives of normal labor, so as to make the most suitable choice for them. During the delivery process, medical staff should also pay close attention to the progress of labor, adjust the delivery plan in time according to the actual situation, and ensure the safety of mother and child.
