🤰 During pregnancy, the cervix acts as a barrier, staying firm and closed to protect the fetus and prevent infections.

As labor nears, the cervix softens, thins (effaces), and opens (dilates) to prepare for childbirth. Contractions during active labor further aid dilation, allowing the baby to descend into the birth canal.

Once fully dilated (10 cm), pushing begins, or the fetal ejection reflex may occur, facilitating delivery. The cervix is vital in supporting pregnancy and enabling childbirth.

*Sleep apnea* is a potentially serious disorder that causes repeated stopping and starting of breathing while sleeping.

The main types of sleep apnea are:

- *Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)*, which is the more common form that occurs when throat muscles relax and block the flow of air into the lungs.
- *Central sleep apnea (CSA)* , which occurs when the brain doesn't send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
- *Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea* , also known as complex sleep apnea, which happens when someone has OSA.

Symptoms could include:
- Loud snoring
- Hypersomnia
- Gasping for air during sleep
- Insomnia
- Irritability, etc.
