Transition – What is it and what can you do help yourself

Approved by: BC Women’s Family Education Advisory Committee

Transition is the last phase of the first stage of labour. This is usually the shortest and the most intense part of labour.

• The baby’s descent puts pressure on your rectal area
• The cervix completes dilating
• Every contraction makes a difference
• Four to five contractions come in ten minutes, with each contraction lasting 70-90 seconds

• The contractions reach their maximum intensity at the beginning of this phase Read More…
