👶🏽 Understanding Cervical Dilation: From 1 cm to 10 cm in Labor During labor, the cervix (the opening of the womb) gradually opens to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal. This opening is measured in centimeters—from 1 cm to 10 cm. Here’s what each stage usually means: 🔹 1–3 cm – Early Labor The cervix is starting to soften and open. Contractions may be mild or irregular. Some women are still comfortable walking, talking, and resting at home. 🔹 4–6 cm – Active Labor Begins The cerv

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!

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. 🤰🏾👶🏾
