Cervical Dilation - up close!!

#short

In order to birth your baby your cervix has to dilate (open) and thin (efface) and the baby has to come down into the pelvis! It starts closed and opens cm by cm until eventually you reach 10 cm meaning there’s no cervix left keeping the baby inside!

Have you been told you’re “only” 1 cm or even closed?! NO FEAR!! Your cervix can start changing at any moment (hopefully after 37 weeks) - ANY dilation prior to labor is extra credit!

Want more? I have a new YouTube Video all about cervical dilation you can check out on my channel!

I even give you tips to help make them easier!

How dilated were you on your first exam?

As a woman this is frankly terrifying. God bless all of the mothers in the world

I was 5 cm dilated and didn’t even realize I was in labor so seeing how far that is makes it actually kind of scary. The woman’s body is a phenomenal the things it can withstand

[KattKitt]

I highly appreciate the “NOT WITH THESE NAILS” disclaimer.

7cm when i went in for my third. No epidural, no pitocin. Ready to push within thirty minutes with no complications. Discharged within 24 hours. Thank you, Lord🙏

I love how the music is all happy and cheery and everyone in the comments is just like hELL NO 😂

[FionaApplewright]

THIS is the stuff they need to be showing in health class to prevent pregnancy. As an adult, NOTHING made me not wanna have kids more than learning about the stitches. I would have stayed pure my entire life if I had known about those...

[WaffledPigeon]

Just goes to show that the guys that say that a woman gets “loose” after sleeping around know nothing about women’s anatomy.

[mintallylost]

As a woman, this is literally body horror.

[ashleighrose]

This woman just single handedly slowed the teen birth rate in America lol.

[jchen]

I never thought anything could calm my raging teenage hormones, but here it is.

[giuliad]

Mothers are badass. Please let me never get pregnant this is terrifying

я думала, что это размеры баночки для жидкости для снятия лака, чтобы было удобно вместить всю же знал, что это процессы раскрытия родов💀

Everyone is always confused when I say I love kids but I don't want birth children. This video adds to my reasons why I will adopt.

[olivlocalsimp]

this is absolutely terrifying how do people give birth to so many children
newfound respect for my mother

EDIT HOLY SHIT THANKS FOR THE LIKES LMAO

[bahjax]

Knowing and actually seeing the visual is so terrifying.

[jadeos]

I remember my mom's job helping these women during their deliveries. Praises to all mothers in the world.

[armbears]

This is why so many women don't want kids anymore, myself included lol

[jens.l]

An other reason to put on the list of why I am never having kids

[sapphirestone]

God, I just clench my legs together because of this. Mothers are strong women and I am NOT one of them!

I only made it to 6cm. Had to have a secondary c-section. I‘m glad my son is healthy, he had his umbilical cord around his neck two times. I begged for the cesarean, because no one believed me there was something wrong. But I knew deep down. Always trust your gut instinct.
