At full dilation, what is the measurement of the cervix in centimeters?

At full dilation, the cervix measures 10 centimeters. This measurement is crucial during labor, as 10 centimeters represents the point at which the cervix has fully opened to allow for the passage of the baby through the birth canal. The dilation is typically assessed in centimeters from 0 to 10, with each centimeter indicating the degree to which the cervix has opened. Understanding this measurement is vital for healthcare providers to determine the progress of labor and when it is appropriate to assist with delivery.
