CERVICAL DILATION

Your cervix which is known as the mouth /opening of the uterus during pregnancy is closed. When labor sets in it will begin to dilate

Your cervix should be fully dilated before you push out your baby. Pushing through an undilated cervix can cause cervical tears.

Always cooperate with your midwife. Push when she has confirmed that the cervix is fully opened.

Having severe pains does not mean that cervix is fully dilated. Let your midwife confirm first!. Unless baby comes out spontaneously don’t be in a rush to push without it being confirmed.

And remember cervix is dilated when you are 10 cm full. Its a gradual process that can last between 8 to 18 hours. Its shorter for mums who have given birth before.
