of smooth muscle contraction in the myometrium that slowly increase in
strength and frequency. At the same time, the smooth muscle tissue of
the cervix begins to efface, or thin, and dilate from less than a centimeter
in diameter to around ten centimeters at full dilation. Once the cervix is
fully dilated, the uterine contractions drastically increase in intensity and
duration until the fetus is pushed out of the uterus, through the vagina,
and out of the mother's body
True Versus False Labor - ANSWER• False labor is a condition
occurring during the latter weeks of some pregnancies in which irregular
uterine contractions are felt, but the cervix is not affected.

labor contractions bring about progressive cervical dilation and
effacement.
