What would happen if these regular contractions meant something but my cervix just didn't want to open?, surely they…

thankyou haha @mummytomollie I'm in loads of pain but anything to get this baby moving, and thankyou @ljay xx

Do some squats and get on all fours and rock helps get baby further down . Good luck ! X

Wow I couldn't have done the ironing or cleaned the house when I was in early stages lol well done u xx

hmm true, okay thanks @ljay @winterbaby95 and I've just done ironing and going to clean house so hopefully it will help move thing along and yeah I will hun thanks @mummytomollie xx

Things can change pretty rapidly make sure u time them xx

@leigh-amyxo I don't know about a bath slowing it down hun...but I had one when I was in labour and it helped relieve some of the pressure. You want a water birth right? So it cant possibly slow it down hmm xx

No it only slows it down if you are not In Labour so if it's Branson hicks it will stop it, if it's early labour it can help move it along . I didn't dialated till really late on I had complications if it gets to much go in again and explain when I got to three mins they were talking about c section. Have a nice warm bath to see if it's labour and chill it really helps if it's getting too much call up and go in X X

he's 1/5th engaged, I feel like.ive literally tried everything, I'm getting really annoyed but I no I got.to stay calm and let it happen when it wants but my body is showing me all the signs and still nothing xx

@leigh-amyxo Bounce on your ball hun. Do squats. You need to get bubs moving down so he puts pressure on the cervix causing it to dilate more xx

I heard a bath slows it all down :/ @ljay and yes @winterbaby95 I had one last Friday when I found out I was 1cm, meant to have one tomorrow but midwife up hospital lastnight said don't bother :/ so not sure what to do, I'm definitely going to speak to my.midwife tomorrow because these pains are making me feel like.om getting somewhere but I'm not xx

The first 4cms are apparently the hardest hun :) If you aren'g dilating...they'll put you on a hormone drip...And if all fails..it results in a csection. Have you had a sweep? xx

Get in the bath honestly I was like that for days and a warm bath really helped ease it X

I'm just in so much pain @lou xx

Don't worry too much yet, I was 1cm for two days then all of a sudden went to 4cm in 2 hours. xxx

I'm seeing her tomorrow so I'll mention it @firsttimemummy21 last Friday they were regualr and I was 1 cm and then lastnight they were every 5 minutes and very painful, so wen up hospital due to being in so much pain and still 1cm:( just feel like I ain't getting anywhere and I'm having the same pains now xx

I've heard of people not dilating... speak to a midwife and say you're concerned :)
