What is Dialiation?

So I was talking to my pregnant cousin and she said she was like 1 centimeter dialated... What does that mean?

 

It means how far her cervix has dialated/open...is she near the end of her pregnancy? One centimeter is not much...she still has a way to go.

Its how open her cervix (opening into the vaginal canal) is. You need to get to 10cm before you can push the baby out. If she is 1cm lets hope she is over 30 weeks pregnant, although she still has a long way to go - its not good to start to dilate too early in your pregnancy.
