IN THE SECOND PHASE:ACTIVE LABOR is usually shorter than the first, lasting an average of two to three and a half hours. The contractions are more concentrated now,accomplishing more in less time.As they become stronger, longer,and more frequent, the cervix dilates to 7 centimeters. There is less time to rest between contractions.

WHAT YOU OUGHT TO DO DUE TO THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION
1.Start your breathing exercises, if you plan to use them,as soon as contractions become too strong to talk through. (Also nurse can help you if your unable).But exercises for some women is the burden, worry not if your too in this group because birth is not for exercises only.
2.Drink if your practitioner allowed you.Even if you feel hungry just eat a good snuck but avoid the usage of acid juices.
3.Make a concerted effort to relax between contractions. This will become increasingly difficult as they come more frequently, but it will also become increasingly important as your energy reserves are taxed.
4.Walk around, if possible, or at least change positions frequently, seeking those that provide the most comfort.
5.Remember to urinate periodically, because of tremendous pelvic pressure, you may not notice the need to empty your bladder .
6.If you feel you need some pain relief, don't be afraid to discuss it with your attendants.They may suggest waiting for 15 minutes or 30 minutes before having it administered-at which point you may have made so much progress that you won't need it,or you may have found renewed strength and no longer want it.
Also even coach has a task to do in this particular situation especially the preparations of mother's kit and mastering the entire situation. Next I'm going also to mention the responsibilities of coach .
