3D Medical Animation of Normal Vaginal Childbirth

This fascinating 3D medical animation shows a time lapse view of labor and delivery during normal vaginal birth in a simplified form with only the mother’s skeletal structures and the baby in the uterus. Also shown in detail is dilatation (dilation or dilating) and effacement (thinning) of the cervix during childbirth contractions.

    Wow! In few weeks i´m giving birth to my third child, but still I´m so fascinated by this movie, though I´ve tried it myself - twice, and soon three times. It is such a beautyful piece - especially with the cello-suite :-) thank you!-kir. Danmark

    Human race is a miracle indeed. This movie made me think that years ago I was just like that, in my mother’s tummy :P and now I am pretending I am a gown up and everything… It’s a miracle how something that little and helpless can become the humans we are today.
