Dilation charts

I don't know if your doctors office/midwives have this first one posted, but it gives you a great idea of what your body does and how much you have to dilate to get that baby out. The second pic is a more realistic pic using common things around your house to really give you a good idea of what a certain amount of cm looks like.

  • I've seen the first one at my drs office. I like the second one better though. I showed this to my BF and his response was funny. He took one look and said "holy sh!t" I wanted to smack him but all I could do was laugh.

  • The book I got at my birthing class last week had a size chart. DH was blown away by the 10 cm. I guess I'm not sure what he was expecting. I mean, an entire baby is coming through there. Thanks for the food comparison though. He is going to love that!

  • I know 10cm doesn't seem like a lot...but thank goodness babies little heads are soft and mold to what is going on down there during birth. If it wasn't for that, we would be screwed. LOL

  • I heard a Dr once explain it like you are putting on a turtle neck shirt. It stretches over the baby's head just like when you are putting on a turtle neck if that makes sense.

  • In one of the books my doc gave us it had a similar chart, just circles on the stages of labor page. I was flipping through it on the car ride home, saw that and had to close the book, my eyes and lay back. It was ridiculous.

    I know the baby has to fit through there but seeing it like that for the first time made me a little nauseous!
