It does so over multiple months. It is very averse to so spontaneously, as every OB/GYN might tell you. Always causes stressful situations in the OR.

The uterus expands to just under the lungs during pregnancy. It should be possible for some madman (and madwoman) to cause the cervix to dilate and just keep on stretching the uterus until it’s long enough.

Didn’t knew about the cervix being one way. Good to know.

Well, just to be clear, that is meant for mechanical things…
Fluids,not so much. For obvious reasons.
It’s a hell of a lot of work to actually dilate it.
