Know the symptoms. If you are pregnant, you might experience bloody show or a mucous plug as the cervix dilates. This means that you have light vaginal spotting and pass a bit of mucous. This is not to be confused with vaginal bleeding, which is heavier and more like a menstrual period. Bloody show is usually light pink and there is just a small amount. The mucous plug is what seals the cervix during your pregnancy. Losing the mucous plug may be the first indicator that you are about to go into labor. Some women also experience vaginal cramping and pelvic pressure as the cervix opens.

Contact your physician, who will perform a pelvic examination to assess your situation. During this exam, the cervix is felt to determine how much effacement has occurred, as well as how much the cervix has opened. There is a grading system for this. The cervix effaces from 0 percent (none) to 100 percent (completely thinned out). Typically, the cervix begins to efface a few weeks before the baby's birth. Cervical dilation can also begin at this time and is graded by how many of the doctor's fingers can fit into the opening. One finger would mean that the labor process could begin within one or two weeks, five fingers would mean that the cervix is dilated halfway and labor is strong, and more than nine fingers means that labor is well under way and the baby's birth is imminent.

Understand abnormal symptoms. If you are not beyond 38 weeks of your pregnancy and you are experiencing pelvic pressure, cramping or vaginal bleeding, contact your physician immediately. You might be having pre-term labor. In this case, you and your baby need immediate medical attention.

Communicate with your health care professionals. Only a pelvic examination will tell if your cervix is dilating. There is no other way to determine your condition without this specific exam.
