Talk:Cervical dilation

[edit] Remove hatnote?
This article currently has a hatnote that it's not about the surgical procedure. However, it would be a nice centralized place to have that information (as opposed to repeating it in each one of the articles IDX, D&E, D&C, and vacuum aspiration). I believe it would also tie in well with the article's current topic of childbirth - artificial prostaglandins like misoprostol are used in surgical dilation, as well as to induce labor, and natural prostaglandins are in semen - thus pelvic rest for women at risk for premature labor.
Are there objections to including this information in this article, and removing the associated hatnote? Lyrl Talk C 02:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] cervical dilation
I am dilated .5 centimeter. What is the average length of time from this point until labor begins?
