  • Id like to know some tips also im due the 26 & not dilated either :(
  • From my son I was 1 cm dilated from 36wks until I the day I gave birth 40wks 3days! Next Monday I'll be 37 weeks and I get checked for the first time on wed! Let's hope I started dilating :D
  • bump i need help with this too
  • I was a fingertip at my 36 week appointment and my cervix was soft..no effacement though. Walking, bouncing on an exercise ball, sex, and evening primrose oil caps inserted in vagina may all help :)
  • I started dialating at 37wks..im 38+4 now..still only 3cms, 80%, -1. But I started dialating when I started circling my hips (like a hula hoop) on the ball, I was told not to bounce too much..could cause the cord to choke baby. Drinking red leaf rasb tea, I used 2 tea bags per mug..and walking around the mall and occasionally up n down stairs. I went today n my doc wants to switch me from the tea to E.P.O. This wkend..but im nt gonna cuz its expensive..lol im due in 10days. Good luck ladies!!
  • I'm 33 weeks and am 2.5 cm dilated
  • with my first two i didnt dialate with until actuall labor .. as long as your babies low and your beging to thin dont worry about the dialtion till it actually counts. lol.. durring labor.. good luck girl .. not much longer for you

    Am die next Thursday and am not dilating either but my cervix is soft. My midwife told me sex, walking for me. I hope I don't go over also the ball should help. Labor dust to all of us :)
  • I started dilating at 36 weeks, Im (as currently as I know, 37 weeks) 2cm 70%effaced. I was at a 3 but it stopped and went back to a 2 aparently.
  • I've been dilated a fingertip since 29 weeks. I'm 35 weeks 4 days and dilated between a 1-2 and started losing my mucus plug after having a cervical exam on Tuesday. Doc says im in the early stages of labor. Having irregular contractions and a lot of back pain. I honestly haven't tried any self inducing I've even refrained from sex to avoid premature labor. I walk a lot and with having to care to my daughter and my boyfriends 4 kids I'm always busy. Best wishes ladies sending labor dust your way!!!!!

    I started to dilate after they started pitocin on the day I was induced.. I hope you start to make progress! My induction starting at 0 was HORRIBLE! Not wanting to scare you, every woman is different but I would wait as long as possible and maybe try prim rose oil, sex, bouncing or anything else! Good luck!
  • The whole point of labor is to get you dialated...labor can start with zero opening in the cervix....hang in there!
  • @sunshinelove I didn't know u could go backwards o.O that kinda suxx...

    2morrow ill be 38wks & was checked 4 the first time yesterday & I'm not dilated at all :( I hope I don't have to get induced...

    Do they let u try to dilate till ur due date or do they try to induce u b4???
  • I'm 40 weeks an yet to dilate.
  • I'm 38+6 and just now made 1cm. Tuesday I was still at zero do it just happened. I think its all the sex me and hubby been having the last couple days. ;)
  • I'm due next Thursday and I've been stuck at 1cm for 3 weeks /: & I've tried everything! Sex, walking, herbs, squats. I guess its just up to your body.
