Your cervix can begin to open for several
reasons (baby's head dropping, etc)...and
you could quite honestly be having a
contraction here or there and not
realizing it. I have patients that we put
on the monitor that don't realize they are
having a contraction when they clearly
are!!
How far along are you?

Yes it is, and it's a good thing as long
as you are far enough a long! Just think
of it as the dilation that you won't have
to be in the pain of labor for
