Preterm labor can be diagnosed only when changes in the cervix are found. Your obstetrician or other health care professional may perform a pelvic exam to see if your cervix has started to change. You may need to be examined several times over a period of a few hours.
Cervical Effacement refers to the cervix thinning out. The cervix starts out long and hard, and slowly diminishes as labor progresses. The cervix will become 100% effaced before the baby is born. Like cervix dilation, partial effacement may or may not be an early labor sign. You can start labor not being effaced at all, or you can be 50% effaced for a few weeks.
