Dilate. How can i help myself to Dilate

NewMommyNicole

I have been dilated 1cm since I was 36 weeks. I'm now 38. I went to the doctors yesterday because of pain in my pelvic area. The pain was my baby dropped more into my pelvis. How can I get my cervix to dilate more.
*sex is painful for me

I heard to do squats and walk around a lot

I've heard using a breast pump or nipple stimulation will help get contractions going...I did a lot of walking and went into labor with both of my kids

I been having contractions for a week now and only dilated 1cm in 2 days playing the waiting game as well but I used a baby/children enema and that got more contractions going

Wow that sucks. Get on a exercise ball and bounce on it some. My friend said that helped her

I just watched the news and saw where a cupcake shop in virgina sells lemon drop cupcakes and 25 prego women eat the cupcakes during the last weeks and 19 of them went in labor... I'm not sure how but try some lemon drop cupcakes
