The neck of the uterus / cervix is ​​located at the bottom of the uterus and helps the course of sperm from the vagina into the uterus. And have a very important role in the delivery process. This organ is very unique and very important in a woman's reproductive process. This picture shows the type of cavity in the wall of the cervix that secrete a particular type of mucus which mucus is mucus-forming symptomatic symptoms that indicate fertile and infertile pattern that became the basis of the Billings Ovulation Method. (In the process of determining the fertile period) 

Caption:
Mucus F = F
Destroy low-quality sperm and mucus form a network to support S and P. This mucus causes a wet and sticky on the vulva
Mucus G = G




A highly concentrated gestagenic mucus impenetrable, formed at the bottom of the cervix. This mucus prevents sperm into the cervix and is part of the immune system that protects the female reproductive system of the danger of infection.
Mucus L = L
Derived from cells that spread throughout the cervix and the unknown functions in particular.
Mucus P = P
There are several sub-types of this mucus. Most showed fertility are P2 and P6. P2 mucus can appear at the beginning of the fertile period, the possibility of having a role liquefy mucus G. P6 mucus mostly found in the upper neck of the womb (cervix), and appeared before the day of peak fertility and have the benefit of helping sperm travel and creates a sense of very wet and slippery at the vulva.
S = Mucus S
Forming strands of yarn into a channel of transportation ("a place to swim") for sperm cells. This mucus creates a feeling of wet and slippery at the vulva.
Grain-bitir Z = Z
Enzymes in the grains of Z joining P to produce mucus liquid properties.
"The cervix is ​​the organ of the body is very precise and very complicated as our eyes."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Similarly, in labor, the cervix has a vital function in this process.
1. When delivery is imminent, cervix / cervical thinning, shortening and opening. It is prepared in such a way for the baby to pass through the birth canal with ease.
2. Depth widening delehr rabim or longer and the rapid opening of each woman is different. So do not be equated because humans are unique.
3. Sometimes this process takes place slowly and gradually over several weeks before giving birth, and just started more intense after the entry into a phase when active. To check the midwife or doctor should perform an internal examination to assess how wide is the opening of the cervix.
4. The cervix is ​​narrow, and this is the lowest part of the uterus
5. The cervix is ​​sometimes conical cylinder-shaped at the ends. By inspecting the midwife or doctor can see / feel the cervix is ​​actually half of its length. Usually the length of 3cm and the width 2.5 cm
6. Cervical surface oval, convex, and has anterior and posterior lips
7. Overall size and shape of organs depend on age, hormones, and whether the woman had given birth to normal or not
8. Opening ectocervikx known as the external os. In women who have given birth, the external os looks like there is the opening / small hole round. In women who had never given birth, ectocervix look thicker and wider opening external os
9. Endocervical channel is a path that connects the external os and the uterine cavity. The length and width is different on each woman.Endocervical canal about 7 to 8 mm and is usually seen in women of childbearing age.
10. When the baby's head coming down, then rtekanan the cervix causing the cervix to thin out
11. During pregnancy a thick slime / mucus plug protecting and clog the holes in your cervix. When the thinning and opening of the cervix begins, the mucus is pushed out and is called the mucus blood (birth sign), but some women sometimes do not realize this
12. The opening of the cervix was assessed by size 0 to 10 cm. 0 means no or no opening at all and 10 means it's full opening.
13. When you are at the first stage of labor, contractions of the uterus help getting shortened cervix and open
14. At first, the contractions are still scarce and distant, but the longer the contractions more frequent and its duration will be longer. Usually every 2-3 minutes and lasts between 45-60 seconds (this means you've entered the active phase)
15. When the pregnancy the cervix is ​​thickened and taut as it serves to protect your fetus, but when labor starts, the cervix will be softened and thinned and widened so as to facilitate the opening for the delivery occurs.
16. When labor begins midwife or doctor checks in to find out how the opening, shortening and thinning of the cervix, but not too often doing the checks in as this will increase the risk of infection.
17. You can use the relaxation method with roses blossomed when labor, and this will stimulate the opening of the cervix run faster and convenient.
18. When you are tense and stressed the catecholamine hormones and adrenaline that increases in your blood it will make the cervix or cervical increasingly tense and difficult to open, so you should be relaxed to allow the opening runs smoothly
19. Some ways of induction is the inclusion of misoprostol or Cytotec tablets into your vagina and cervix are placed right behind you in the hope the drug could help soften the cervix and stimulate contractions. But this should not be done because the risks are many including making the cervix more fragile, so easy to rip. And if that happens it will be difficult to manage and can be a source of bleeding quite a lot.
20. When the cervix / neck of your womb does not open completely or the opening is not yet complete but you are forced to push, it will happen pembengkaan in the cervix and this will further complicate and prolong the delivery process. So even though the taste or the desire to push the existing, but if the opening is not complete try to control myself try to drag a deep breath and relaxation and visualization. If you continue to "steal" pushing or screaming, then it will make more swollen cervix and actually slow down the opening process.
