Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I am Dr Nirav.
During labour cervix will start thining as third stage of labor proceeds.
- the reason for not thining may be due to insufficient amount of progestin
- not proper amount of oxytocin available
- get infusion with oxytocin at hospital and have a progress.

Have a better health and nice baby.
