There is something about the word ‘dilation’ that can make you irrationally uncomfortable; it suggests a swelling, a widening, an engorging of bodily fluids to facilitate the smooth passage of something into, or out of, the human body.
The example which first comes to mind is the miracle of childbirth. During labor, the midwife keeps mother-to-be updated on the status of cervix dilation to give us an idea of how far the process is coming along. From 1cm, the size of a cheerio to 10cm, the size of a bagel, the change is unbelievable and is vividly illustrated with this handy ‘dilation chart.’
A photo of the wooden chart was initially shared by SCV Birth Center, a pregnancy care clinic in Santa Clarita, California. This chart helps women to visualize what midwives are telling them during labor because well, why not, right? It is also a handy educational tool for midwives and doctors.
Facebook user Steffanie Christi’an saw the post by SCV Birth Center and shared it along with the caption “This is what 10cm of dilation looks like. This is why we deserve all the things.” Her post went viral immediately as women all across the world were confronted with the stark and impressive realities of childbirth.
Here is how people responded to the eye-opening chart:
