Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dilation of the cervix occurs during the first stage of childbirth, which is characterized by the onset of regular uterine contractions and ends when the cervix is fully dilated to 10 centimeters. During this stage, the cervix thins out and moves to a more anterior position while gradually opening up to allow the passage of the baby through the birth canal.
