Understanding the stages of labour can help you feel more prepared for the journey ahead:
1️⃣ Early Labour: Contractions begin and your cervix dilates slowly (0-3 cm). This can last several hours or even days.
2️⃣ Active Labour: Contractions become stronger and more regular, with the cervix dilating from 4-7 cm.
3️⃣ Transition: The most intense phase, as the cervix dilates from 8-10 cm, and you prepare for pushing.
4️⃣ Delivery: Time to meet your baby!
5️⃣ Placenta Delivery: The final stage involves the delivery of the placenta.
Every birth is unique, and we’re here to guide you through it.
