Question 3

does the cervix dilate throughout your cycle?

Very slightly: There are very small changes in the size of the opening of the cervix during the menstrual cycle.  This small amount of dilation at the time of ovulation when the cervix is slightly more open, is much less "dilation" than occurs in labor (up to 10 cm).

Question 7

is it more likely for your cervix to thin and dilate quicker with 4 pregnancy ? first 3 all normal and successful

Accepted Answer

Good question: That's such a good question, and the answer is complicated. In my experience, women who had a lot of deliveries oftentimes the cervix will be the same for weeks on end and then will change suddenly.  That is, labor when it comes causes rapid changes to the cervix. I'm like a woman's first delivery where the change is more methodical.

R u serious: What your asking doesn't make sense. If your pregnant and worried about cervical dilation you need to see your ob. :)

Miscarriag: The cervix usually dilate enough to allow the contents of uterus to expel and does not have to dilate to 10cms. Kindly see your doctor for any concern and plan.
