Holy cow... what do you think of this? Get ready to have your mind blown by this shocking mechanical dilator, currently in trials in Australia. We are flabbergasted (is there a device to prevent flabbergasting? maybe these guys can think one up!) Will share a link to a change.org petition against this horror momentarily...as soon as we finish making sure its not an elaborate internet hoax. The Materna device will be used during the first stage of labor, in a hospital or birthing center, under the supervision of trained clinical professionals. The device design is a mechanical dilator which penetrates the first 4 cm, or 1/3rd of the vaginal canal, and gradually expands the vagina from a resting diameter of 2.6 cm to the fully expanded size of the delivering fetus, roughly 8-10 cm
