Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Contractions get stronger with ambulation in true labor. True labor is also marked by the onset of regular, rhythmic contractions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Braxton-Hicks contractions do not dilate the cervix. Braxton-Hicks contractions remain irregular, can range from mild to moderate in severity, and increase in duration as the pregnancy progresses.
