Here’s a demo of what your cervix does in labor and childbirth! Now the cervical dilation numbers and the stages they coincide with might vary and some people feel transition earlier than 8cm dilated. And some people are actively contracting and changing their cervix before 6cm dilated. But your cervix will dilate from closed, not open to 10cm or fully dilated and it will also thin, or efface! Stages of labor are really neat and when you see your cervix on your baby’s head it looks even neater!

Ever wondered how big your cervix *actually* gets during labour? 🤔 Well, here's the difference between 1cm (a pistachio) and 10cm (a tub of ice cream) 😳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your cervix dilates to approximately 10cm during the first stage of labour (aka the ‘Up Stage’). This is what your surges (or contractions) are doing ~ drawing your uterus muscles up and helping your cervix to soften, shorten and open. If you request, or consent to, an internal examination during labour, this is what the Midwife is c

This simple teaching board helps explain cervical dilation during labor. The cervix gradually opens from 1 cm to 10 cm. As the opening gets wider, the baby’s head moves lower into the birth canal. At 10 centimeters, the cervix is fully open and the mother can begin pushing. Childbirth is an incredible process designed by the body. 🤰🏾👶🏾
