Building up to the actual birth, the cervix goes through spasms and the opening enlarges. It becomes thinner (called effacement) and opens (called dilation). When the cervix is fully dilated (about ten centimetres), contractions help the baby to move from the uterus into the vagina, and the birth takes place.
