CERVICAL DILATION

Starting from the upper left, this is an example of the changes that the cervix makes during labor. But there are no rulers involved—the cervix is “measured” during a cervical exam in which your healthcare provider feels the cervical position with their pointer and middle fingers. ✌🏾

✨NOTE: Consent should always be the first step of any cervical exam and you have the right to decline or delay exams during labor them as well.
