Question about the cervix

[PrettyWisdomous]

Something that has had me confused for a while...

During labour the cervix thins and dilates... Where does it go?! After childbirth, does it "grow" back, and is it a "new" cervix? How long does it take for the cervix to go back to normal thickness and dilated-ness ()?

Where does it go?? The cervix is a whole leading the uterus. It stretches to allow the baby out and then eventually constricts back. I'm not sure what you mean exactly?

It's kind of like an elastic band, stretches and goes thin, then goes back to normal afterwards
