Lesi yisigaba sokuqala somsebenzi. Ngokwemvelo, umlomo wesibeletho uyisilinda cishe esingu-3 cm. ubude obufaka umsele obizwa ngokuthi umsele wesibeletho onemigodi emi-2, eyodwa yangaphakathi neyodwa yangaphandle. Izindonga zayo zicishe zibe yisentimitha ukushuba. Ngenxa yomphumela wezingcindezi kanye nengcindezi etholakala esigxotsheni se-fetal, intamo ifinyezwa ize isulwe ngokuphelele futhi iyanwetshwa ize ifinyelele kuzungezo oludingekayo ukuze ingane idlule.
Ngasikhathi sinye, ingane yehla ngenxa yomphumela wamandla adonsela phansi kanye nomfutho wezinciphiso zesibeletho. Ukwehla, ingane kufanele yenze ukunyakaza okuhlukile ukuze ingene esinqeni sikanina. Okokuqala, kufanele unqume ukuthi yibuphi ububanzi bekhaba obuhle kakhulu kuwe ukungena kumsele wokuzalwa. Ngemuva kokwenza lesi sinqumo, kufanele unciphise ububanzi besigxobo osinikezayo (ikhanda noma umsila) ukuze ukwazi ukuwela lesi sithiyo samathambo. Uma iphumelela, kuthiwa isizifakile ngoba ayisakwazi ukubuyela endaweni edlule.
Ngemuva kwalokho kufanele izijikeleze ukuze ingxenye eqinile yesigxobo esinikezwayo (ikhanda noma umsila) ixhumane ne-pubis ukuze ikwazi ukunyakaza okufana ne-hinge okuzoyiqhubela ezweni langaphandle ngesikhathi sokuxoshwa.
Ngalesi sikhathi, udokotela angangenelela ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene zokusiza, noma ethanda ukwehla ngokuqhekeka kwesikhwama kokufakelwa noma akhulise ukufinyela uma kunganele ngokwethonsi le-oxytocic noma uma ubuhlungu bungabekezeleleki kumama osebenzisa i-analgesia ye umsebenzi.
