Contraction questions

I had a membrane sweep today. Before the sweep I was 3-4 dilated & 75% effaced.

Are there any effective ways & things I can do to help soften and dilate my cervix faster? At my appointment my doctor said I was MAYBE a fingertip dilated and 60% effaced.

Alright ladies! I finally progressed! I'm finally a centimeter dilated, 50-60% effaced and she's at a -3 making her way down. She's weighing 8lbs and is in the 90 percentile! ❤ Oh and she did a membrane sweep!

PROGRESS: 70% Effaced dilated to 1 1/2 its not 2 but I'll take it. he said something about the baby's. head at -2 idk what that means lol. But since I'm. due saturday he scheduled an induction for the 23rd if I go that long. I honestly don't think I will...

At the hospital my nurse is having to call the doctor to see what to do because I am 50% effaced and dilated to almost a one she is sending me home but said if my pain gets worse to comeback.
