-
a rhythmic tightening of the uterus that aids in achieving cervical dilation and effacement
Contractions
-
the rate at which uterine contractions occur, measured by the time elapsed between the beginning of one contraction and the beginning of the next

-
the time between the beginning and the end of one uterine contraction
Duration
