Thinning of the cervix: the way is clear for baby!
The cervix plays a vital role during your pregnancy. When it is fully open, birth is imminent!
- Your cervix closes to keep the fetus safe until the 9th month, and only as you approach delivery does it begin to dilate.
- If it opens prematurely, the doctor will put you on rest to stop the process.
- On the big day, with the contractions and the pressure of the baby's head, the thinning of the cervix progresses gradually until the cervix finally reaches an opening of 10 cm.
- Only then will you be able to start pushing!

I'm getting mani and pedi done. I had rough night but I already had this appointment made. I was sweating my butt off last night and had 4 hours of false labor contractions. The contraction app told me it was too irregular and not in active labor. My cervix has to be thinning or my mucus plug because I did have some bloody discharge (NOT bloody show). Stomach is nonstop tight today with some lightening crotch pains. I'm going to try to take it easy until doctor appointment tomorrow. I really hope my body is gearing up to have baby soon! #braxtonhicksnonstop
