Cervical expansion (or cervical expansion)

What is cervical expansion?

cervical expansion (or cervical expansion) is the opening of the uterus, the entrance of the uterus, during childbirth, miscarriage, induced abortion or gynecological surgery. cervical expansion can be natural or induced by surgical or medical means.

In the final stages of pregnancy, the cervical neck may have already opened up to 1 cm (or more in rare circumstances), but during work, repeated uterine contractions lead to further expansion of the womb of the uterus about 6 cm. From this point on, the pressure from presentation (head during top births or births in the seat), as well as uterine contractions, will increase the cervical neck at 10 cm, which is ‘complete’. ". cervical expansion is accompanied by removal, thinning of the neck.

General instructions for cervical expansion:

latent phase: 0-3 centimeters
Active work: 4-7 centimeters
Transition: 8-10 centimeters
Full: 10 inches. The birth takes place shortly after this stage (although the mother doesn’t always grow right away).
