A member asked:
Does 50% effaced mean you will go into labor soon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effacement: Effacement is a term that describes how thin your cervix feels. Your doctor will determine the effacement when he or she checks your cervix. 50% means that it is approximately halfway thinned out, which is more favorable for a vaginal delivery. Good luck!
