Detailed explanation-1: -The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. During childbirth, the cervix expands about 4 inches (10 centimeters) so the baby can travel from the uterus through the vagina and into the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cervical ripening usually begins before labor starts. During the first stage of labor your cervix will both thin and dilate. The second stage usually begins when your cervix is fully dilated and will allow your baby’s head to pass by, which usually is 10 centimeters.
Detailed explanation-3: -As your cervix stretches and thins, your mucus plug is loosened and passes through your vagina. Your mucus plug may be tinged with blood and may contain your bloody show. All of these signs mean labor will begin soon, and you are one step closer to delivering your baby.
Detailed explanation-4: -The second stage of labor begins once you are fully dilated to 10 cm. Your provider will let you know that it is time to start pushing your baby out. This stage can be as short as 20 minutes or as long as a few hours.
