Everyone keeps telling me to walk since I'm 1cm dilated and keep getting contractions, does that…

Walking helped me. Especially during contractions

Yes it does

I've been at 1cm for 2 weeks

Walking and bouncing on an exercise ball will totally help. That and sex!

I went from 1cm on a Wednesday to 8cm on Saturday and had my baby that night!

ive been at 1cm for 2 weeks as well...and walking isnt really in the cards for me..my sciatic nerve pain is too much. im just a sitting duck lol

@mickbaby, you just gave me so much hope. lol where do they sell exercise balls?

If you have a Five Below near you they have them there. Or Ross/Marshall's sometimes. Definitely bigger chains like Walmart and Target! I think bouncing on the ball helped the most. He dropped further and further every time. Just set up a movie or show and bounce while you watch!

I was 1cm dialated for ever!! N nothing helped speed it up..

@mickbaby, thank you :)

I was at a 1 for weeks

@emiliasmommy1, @firstbaby_girl with contractions?

I've been at a 1cm for over three weeks and no progress regardless of what I do. If I don't go naturally by the 17th they are inducing me since I will be exactly 42 weeks.

nope. didn't have contractions until the day I went into labor.

I was a 1 for like a week I walked and did squats and my baby came a week later.

@leiromero, nopee no contractions.. I started having them the night i went in to be induced soo they didnt induce me she decided to come on her own 5hrs after that lol☺️

I read walking doesn't actually help speed it up on web MD and that its good for you but won't help you dialate
