🎃 How dilated is 10cm? Let’s talk pumpkins! 🤰🏼
Ever wondered what 1cm, 5cm or even 10cm dilation actually looks like?
We’ve used pumpkins to help demonstrate how your cervix gradually opens during labour, from completely closed (0cm) to fully dilated (10cm)!
It’s a fun little visual to help you understand what’s happening inside your body as your baby gets ready to make their entrance. 🧡
A few things to remember:
✨ Every woman’s labour is different.
✨ Cervical dilation doesn’t always happen at a steady rate.
✨ Being 4cm doesn’t mean you’re necessarily halfway there!
✨ Your body and baby work together throughout this amazing process.
And remember, 10cm is just one part of your birth journey.
Save this post for later and share it with someone preparing for birth! 🥰
At The Beautiful Birth Company, we love making birth education informative, relaxed and fun.
Because knowledge is power, and feeling prepared can make such a difference! ❤️
