Effacement: The cervix – which is normally long and thick, measuring about 1-2 inches, starts to get shorter and thinner. This process is known as effacement. As the cervix gets more and more effaced, it gets shorter and shorter and “pulled up” into the lower part of the uterus.
Dilation: At the same time, the cervix softens and begins to open up – known as dilation. This widening, allows a smooth passage for the baby’s head and the rest of the body from the uterus into the vaginal canal.
On the islands of the Galapagos lives a group of birds called finches. There are 13 species in this group. These species have diverse ecologies--some eat seeds, some eat insects, some eat fruit, and some even eat cactus.
