Mind-blowing photo of a woman’s bones MOVING during labour goes viral – as people praise the ‘amazing’ female body

This incredible photo shows how a mother's bones move in her body during labour.

The striking shot was shared by US pregnancy care centre Tangi Birth Services, and shows a woman squatting over a hospital bed during labour.

Medical staff can be seen attending to the woman, who has a bulge visible in her lower back.

The caption said:

Can you see that bulge on her lower back? That is the rhombus of Michaelis.

During the second stage of labour, a combination of bones including your sacrum actually move backwards and in doing so, increases the diameter of your pelvis.

 

The Facebook post reassured social media users that the movement was “completely normal” and explained that the movement is known as the “opening of the back”.

The post continued: “It allows your baby the maximum amount of space to turn as they navigate their way out into the world.
