How would you use effacement in a sentence What is the complete definition of effacement?

Effacement refers to a stage in labor during which the cervix becomes thin and begins the process of dilation which moves the cervix out of the way so the baby can be born. When the cervix is fully effaced and dilated to 10 centimeters, the baby begins to move down the birth canal.

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and have felt inside my cervix I think I'm just 2cm what does the cervix feel like is it ring shaped when will labor start I have mild period cramps?

If you are not a doctor or midwife there is no way you should be feeling your cervix, you could easily introduce an infection which could be fatal to you and/or your baby. Keep your fingers out and wait until you go into labor.


When does the cervix open completely during pregnancy?

The cervix is always closed, it only starts opening towards the end of pregnancy just befor you go into labor. The mucus plug forms somewhere between 8 and 12 weeks. That completely is not true. The cervix is always open, only a tiny bit, or else sperm would have no way of entering. There is a tiny opening of the cervix at all times for sperm to enter, and for you to pass blood during a period. Once fertilization takes place, the cervix is "sealed" by what is known as a "mucous plug". During the early stages of labor, the mucous plug comes out which is one of the first signs a woman is truly in active labor. Once that happens, the cervix begins the dilate once contractions start being more persistent and close together, up until the baby is born if it is a normal pregnancy. If the cervix does not dilate, there are a number of things that can be done by a doctor to help the cervix to dilate. If everything fails, a C-Section will take place to deliver the baby. After birth, it takes a while for the cervix to completely close up again and it is extremely easy to get pregnant. Also, it is very easy for bacteria to get up into the cervix and cause infection, so all doctors recommend you do not take a bath or get in a jacuzzi for at least 6 wks. Also, if you dilate early way before time for the baby to be born, which is what I did, they also recommend (if your water breaks prematurely) to not sit down in a bath because bacteria can go up into your cervix and cause infection, not only in your uterus, but it may also spread to the baby.

Is it normal to have soft tissue sticking out blocking the cervix opening while pregnant?

that isn't your cervix, it is your clitoris. your cervix is a tiny hole way way way up inside of your vagina. your clitoris is a little flap of skin in between your labia or "lips". and yes it is normal. everyones looks different but i have a few friends whos clit stick out.


Which parts does the baby go through on its way out of uterus?

So it starts in the uterus and then works it's way down and through the cervix. From the it exits the mama's body through the vagina.


If you are 32 weeks pregnant with your 5th child and your cervix is 1-1 and a half cms dilated does this mean early labour?

I am a labor and delivery nurse and see this all the time. The answer to the question is that the more children you have the more lax your cervix becomes. We call this, unofficially, a multip-cervix. If this is your fifth child having a cervix that is dialated even a few centimeters may just be the way your cervix is, not a sign of impending labor or even further dilitation at this point. You will most likely just walk around the rest of your pregnancy dilated 1+ cm. And that is normal and actually, to be expected from a cervix that has been dilated four times prior. Unless you are experiencing ongoing contractions, vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage you have not much to be concerned about. Of course make sure to keep your doctor updated with any changes in your condition. it only means that you are dialating early, I was 4 cm dialated when I had my daughter at 38 weeks, I dialated prior to giving birth with all my kids and they were all full term


Small round bump on cervix what could it be?

The best way to determine that answer is to see your doctor.


What happens if your baby doesn't flip before birth?

This is called "breech position." Breech position is when the baby's head is near the top of the uterus and the legs are near the cervix. Most breech babies are born by the way of c-section.
