edited November 2013 in Third Trimester
1 week 3 days till my due date. I'm 1 cm dilated baby is dropped. Night before last I had 2 hours of contractions 5 minutes apart with intense cramping. But they just stopped. Trying to be really patient for this is a vbac and I need to go natural. Also still working full time on my feet (hairstylist) I was just wondering some natural safe ways to progress?

    Alot of squatting and going up and down stairs worked for me. You're so close! :)

    Walking, sex, squats, stairs, birthing ball. I'm sure the fact that your on your feet all day helps a lot already.

    The baby will be here within the week if your at 1cm dilated. :X

    @MyLove2 that's not necessarily true

    Not true at all.

    Not to discourage you, but some women can go several weeks being dilated before labor comes. It's good you were having contractions though. Do lots of squats

    I remember a girl on here did reflexology I beliebe on her foot to induce labor. I think that's what it was. Was a few weeks ago.

    I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked for me. Ended up having c-section again. Hope something works for you. :)

    Well your very close either way if not this week sometimes soon. Good luck hun, I hope this baby doesn't make you wait much longer.

    I was 3cm and 85% effaced and i never went into labor. I actually ended up having a c-section.
    But like it was mentioned before, the fact that you've had contractions and that they were pretty regular is a good sign so hopefully you will have your vbac.
