Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thinning of the cervix before and during childbirth is known as effacement, which means the cervix is becoming thinner and preparing for the baby to pass through. Crowning is the term used to describe when the baby's head is visible at the vaginal opening. Dilation refers to the opening up or widening of the cervix. Detaching is not a term used in the context of cervical thinning during childbirth.
