If Cervix unable to dilate after 20 over hours of labor what is the cause?

My cervix was unable to dilate after 9 hours of hard labor. I was induced and the doctors told me that they had the pitocin level as high as they could put it without rupturing my uterus. My doctor told me that I didn't dilate because I have a condition where my cervix is tightly knit together with something similar to scar tissue. I have never had any cervical trauma to induce this. My doctor told me that it is hereditary. I am adopted so do not know if my birth mother experienced this as well.

What happens to the cervix during the first stage of labor?
Answer: During the first stage of labor, the cervix will start to thin out (also called efface) and open up (also called dilate). The first stage of labor can take a couple of hours or a couple of weeks (I was in my first stage of labor with my daughter for 2 weeks). Most women usually stay at home during this stage as it is not the "active" stage of labor. The active stage of labor is stage 2. During this stage your cervix will continue to efface and dilate at a much more rapid pace. This ends with the birth of your baby. Then comes stage 3, also know as the after-birth stage. This is when you push out the placenta, which is what protected the baby for 9 months and held the fluids.

What is the last stage of labor?
The process of labor and birth is divided into three stages:The first stage begins with the onset of contractions that cause progressive changes in your cervix and ends when your cervix is fully dilated. This stage is divided into two phases: early (or latent) and active labor.During early labor, your cervix gradually effaces (thins out) and dilates (opens).During active labor, your cervix begins to dilate more rapidly and contractions are longer, stronger, and closer together. People often refer to the last part of active labor as "transition."The second stage of labor begins once you're fully dilated and ends with the birth of your baby. This is sometimes referred to as the "pushing" stage.The third and final stage begins right after the birth of your baby and ends with the separation and subsequent delivery of the placenta.Every pregnancy is different, and there's wide variation in the length of labor.
