Midwives Make Vaginal Dilation Jack-o'-Lanterns

Have you ever experienced a vaginal birth? I’ve watched two and just doing that was exhausting. One of the least uncomfortable experiences of it is nurses constantly measuring how much the woman’s vagina has dilated as the baby proceeds to his/her final destination.

To make visualizing the process easier, The Sun reports that midwives at the Royal Oldham Hospital in Lancashire, UK carved 10 jack-o’-lanterns (or jill-o’-lanterns) to show the stages of vaginal dilation during childbirth. Many women on the internet have commented that the pumpkins inspire them to never go through this experience, or at least never go through it again.
