What about station, dilation, and effacement? Dilation matters, sure, but there are other things going on that indicate your body IS making progress. How long has it been since you were last checked? It’s so normal for labor to have stops and stalls. Is there a reason that this lack of progress is worrisome at this time? Have you tried position changes or moves to help baby move down through that pelvis? If you know babies station (where they are in the pelvis) then you can do specific moves to

👶🏽 Understanding Cervical Dilation: From 1 cm to 10 cm in Labor During labor, the cervix (the opening of the womb) gradually opens to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal. This opening is measured in centimeters—from 1 cm to 10 cm. Here’s what each stage usually means: 🔹 1–3 cm – Early Labor The cervix is starting to soften and open. Contractions may be mild or irregular. Some women are still comfortable walking, talking, and resting at home. 🔹 4–6 cm – Active Labor Begins The cerv

Here’s a demo of what your cervix does in labor and childbirth! Now the cervical dilation numbers and the stages they coincide with might vary and some people feel transition earlier than 8cm dilated. And some people are actively contracting and changing their cervix before 6cm dilated. But your cervix will dilate from closed, not open to 10cm or fully dilated and it will also thin, or efface! Stages of labor are really neat and when you see your cervix on your baby’s head it looks even neater!

Labor isn’t linear. Dilation doesn’t climb in a straight line, and progress isn’t constant. There may be pauses and plateaus, or quick shifts. Coping doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. It means the pain comes in waves, with space to breathe, reset, and regroup. When someone is suffering, it’s not a failure — it’s information! Something needs to shift: support, position, environment, expectations, or pain relief. #birth #pregnancy #laboranddelivery
