Understanding Cervical Dilation: How the Body Prepares for Birth

Cervical dilation — the gradual opening of the cervix — is one of the key processes that signals the progression of labor and the approach of childbirth. The cervix, located at the lower end of the uterus, opens into the va**na and must expand from completely closed (0 cm) to fully open (10 cm) to allow a baby to pass through the birth canal.

The Four Stages of Dilation

1. Early Labor (0–3 cm)
In this initial stage, the cervix begins to open slightly, from 0 to 3 centimeters. Contractions are generally mild, irregular, and may last 30–45 seconds, occurring every 5–30 minutes. For first-time mothers, this phase can last many hours — or even days.

2. Active Labor (4–7 cm)
Here, the cervix opens more quickly, reaching 4 to 7 centimeters. Contractions intensify, becoming more regular at intervals of 3–5 minutes, each lasting 45–60 seconds. This stage typically lasts between 4 and 8 hours.

3. Transition Phase (8–10 cm)
The final stretch before full dilation, this phase sees the cervix open from 8 to 10 centimeters. Contractions are extremely strong and frequent — every 2–3 minutes, lasting 60–90 seconds. Though the shortest stage (30 minutes to 2 hours), it is often the most intense.

4. Complete Dilation (10 cm)
Once the cervix reaches 10 centimeters, it is fully open and the pushing stage begins. This allows the baby to travel through the birth canal and be delivered.

What Affects the Speed of Dilation?
Several factors influence how quickly the cervix dilates:
Previous births: Women with prior va**nal deliveries often dilate faster.
Contraction strength: Stronger, more effective contractions help speed the process.
Baby’s position and size: A favorable position can make dilation easier.
Emotional state: Stress or anxiety can slow progress, while calm, supportive environments may help labor advance.

By monitoring cervical dilation, healthcare providers can gauge the pace of labor and determine the best course of care, ensuring both mother and baby remain safe throughout the birthing process.

Ilang cm ka bago ka inadmit ?

Alam niyo ba mga mommies na totoo yung walang nararamdaman pero nasa 5cm na sila?

Ang cervical dilation ay hindi pare pareho. May ibang buntis na 5cm pero walang nararamdamang sakit o contractions .

May ibang mommies na 2cm palang pero active na ang labor contractions.

Dito na papasok kung gaano ka taas or ka baba ang iyong pain tolerance. Hindi natin masisisi ang ibang mommy na kahit 2cm palang pero grabe na yung sakit na nararamdaman nila kasi mababa ang kanilang pain tolerance.

May ibang mommy naman na kahit 10cm na parang wala lang nakiki chismiss pa🤭

May 5cm na pero umaabot pa ng 7 days bago makapanganak. Or unless magbibigay ng pampahilab para sumakit . Dito na papasok ang importance ng hilab . Hindi ka i aadmit kung wala kang nararamdaman hilab kahit ikaw ay nasa 5cm na🤗

Kaya sa mga may mga cm na, huwag kayong atat🤣✌️ hindi dahil may cm na kayo tapos hindi pa tumataas iniisip niyo na kaagad na “ stock” na pwedeng mag antay kasi ang hilab hindi mo alam kung kailan darating unless tuturukan ka ng pampahilab❤️

Advice ko lang po mga mommy kapag kayo ay may cm na walang ibang gawin kundi “mag hintay” pwede ang lakad lakad lang sa loob ng bahay pero yung maglakad ng malalayo hindi yung tama kasi mappagod ka pati si baby.

Good morning 🤰🏻Team August and September ❤️
