Which of the following best describes true labor?

Explanation:
True labor is defined by contractions that become regular, longer, stronger, and closer together and that progressively dilate and efface the cervix. This pattern shows that the body is actually preparing for birth. False labor contractions (Braxton Hicks) are irregular, often weak, and don’t lead to lasting cervical changes, so they don’t signal true progression toward delivery. The placental stage and expulsive (delivery) stage describe events around and after birth, not the ongoing cervical dilation that defines true labor.
