Abstract
A method of monitoring the cervical dilation of a pregnant female, comprising the steps of receiving cervical dilation data generated by a cervical dilation monitor having a sensor including a coil measuring an inductance with the coil attached to a housing such that expansion of the housing changes the inductance of the coil. Then, the cervical dilation is correlated to the immediacy of delivery to create immediacy data and/or one or more instructions indicative of the immediacy of delivery. The immediacy data and/or one or more instructions is transmitted so as to inform the pregnant female of the immediacy of delivery.
