Text
The cervix changes from rigid to loose by breaking {{c1::disulfide bonds}} and infusing water which is stimulated by fetal head engagement and the production of {{c1::prostaglandin E2}}
Extra
- As contraction forces the baby's head into the cervix, the cervix responds to the pressure by undergoing biochemical changes to facilitate delivery

- Cervical changes can be facilitated with balloons or medications (misoprostol or oxytocin)
