How This Calculator Works

Applies modern Consortium of Safe Labor progress curves (dilation per hour) based on maternal parity.

Labor Progress & Cervical Dilation Calculator

Understand stages of labor and estimate progress timelines from cervical measurements.

The Friedman Curve vs. Modern Care

Historical models expected rigid 1 cm/hr changes. Modern guidelines allow for a longer, slower latent phase.

Labor Progression Milestones

Transitioning into pushing is physically intense but indicates full dilation has been achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q:What is active labor?

Active labor begins around 6 cm of dilation, during which cervix opening speeds up rapidly.
