The nurse would observe that the mother would have mild to moderate contractions that would last from 30 to 45 seconds. They can be shorter and they can be regular or irregular. If there is no noticeable contractions, the cervix would usually dilate or open to about 3 centimeters and it will eventually efface or thin out.
