⭐Amazon List⭐ https://www.amazon.it/shop/ileniamazzoli Ever heard of centimeters when talking about labor? Dilation (measured in cm) is definitely a parameter that is used to evaluate the progress of your labor, but it is not the only one used nor the most important. Ever heard of effacement, consistency and position of the cervix or the level of the presenting part? Understanding how your body works to give birth to your baby boy or girl is the first step to being in control of the process itself! In this video I explain what is taken into consideration when doing a vaginal exam (outside or during labor) and how to use this information to your advantage. I will also give you some advice on how to prepare for vaginal exams and what happens during the separation of the membranes. All with the help of a shoe bag and an orange! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I do not offer medical advice.
