The expulsion stage occurs when the cervix is completely dilated and no longer blocks the baby's head. If in the early stages of labor contractions had the function of open and…

So we opt for what is called a cerclage, a string that is placed in the cervix and ties it shut to ensure it cannot dilate. At the time, they had never placed a cerclage so far along in a pregnancy so there was a lot of risks that came into play that made it extremely dangerous. Ultimately, we decided that the positive…
