Visualizing childbirth

Although I haven’t actually delivered a baby in the past 8 years, I did deliver over a thousand during my years as a medical student and OB/Gyn resident. Even so, it wasn’t until I saw this computer simulation that I gained a better understanding of the dynamics of cervical dilatation and childbirth. Watch and be amazed. 

I came across this link via the Street Anatomy website, a great place to find beautiful medically-related visuals.
