During the transition phase of labor, the contractions come rapidly, and there is little or no break in them. The amniotic sac may rupture during this phase, and the cervix dilates to 10 cm. This phase is the most intense and painful one, and the woman may feel overwhelmed and doubt her ability to continue.
