This is a graphic from a birthing class textbook. The characters after the 10 translate to "centimeters". That's right, a woman needs to be dilated 10 CENTIMETERS before she can actually start pushing. If you've ever been in the early labor stages with a pregnant woman, or compared the average size of that opening to a 10cm ruler, you'll understand why everyone in the graphic is crying.
