A maternity ward has shared a novel way of educating pregnant women about the dilation of their cervix during labour. Using a variety of chocolate Easter eggs, Royal Devon and Exeter Maternity Services posted a visual guide to dilation on Facebook.

Mums-to-be exclaimed that they would “never look at chocolate in the same way again.” The guide used a different chocolate egg for every centimetre dilated.
