-- can any prego moms tell me what makes you dilate.?? I'm 35+2 and I've only dilated 1cm and I was told that on sunday

thanks you guys

@arivera64, thanks

eat spicy food.

they say sperm helps

walking and squats is what my OB says

If your body is going to go into labor early on its own, you should let it. but i wouldn't recommend egging it on mama. Your baby needs more time

For the safety of your baby, you should ask your doctor when you can start trying home remedies to go into labor. At 35 weeks your baby is at serious risk of spending time in the NICU which i can almost bet is not worth trying to have him/her early.

well ive been having mild contractions to

thanks you guys

@arivera64, yess

When you say "only" are you trying to dilate more?

Contractions are what make you dilate. You can have them off and on all the way up until active labor where they get stronger

hot hot hot foods is what I'm told

The hormones in your body tell your cervix when to open up. That along with contractions and pressure from the baby that helps it also

sex is supposed to help
