The [[Cervix - Anatomy & Physiology|cervix]] retains the foetus in the uterus. Connective tissue resists stretch, allowing distension of the [[Uterus - Anatomy & Physiology|uterine body]] whilst maintaining the cervix in a closed state. For the foetus to move out of the uterus, the cervix must soften or 'ripen'.
