Honestly I have never heard of such as this. When you dialate the baby comes down a little more. It keeps you from closing back up. Now it could very well be that you could close slightly but not shrink back down. Also sometimes a doctor or nurse measures you more than you have actually dialated--making you think you have dialated a lot and gone back down. It's just a common miscalculation though. But it is very discouraging when you are giving birth to your little one.

AnswerYes, it is possible for your cervix to shrink down in between contractions. Pressure on the cervix when it is not fully dilated can cause it to swell and you will lose progress. This is why doctors do not advise you to push until you are fully dilated (10 cm).
