ladies I need help trying to get my body to dilate my contractions have been 5 mins apart for the past 2 days but my doctor won't do anything to help me till I dilate more than a fingertip. any suggestions? I've tried walking and doing steps and sex.
I know it's miserable I'm so sorry keep up the good work you're making progress even if it doesn't feel like it
I'm going to try the long bath. I've done the baths before but I haven't sat in them longer than 30 or 45 mins bc I uncomfortable but I will try it longer. I'm willing to do anything at this point. @sparklymama
wow it may just be your process good luck and I used the peanut when I was at the hospital it did work
omg yes peanut ball. I used that and within minutes she was ready to come out. mind you I was already at an 8 and dilated pretty quickly after they broke my water but yes that ball helps
Friday night they kept me over night and gave me a demeral pain medication shot and hoped that would help me not tense up and it didn't @sparklymama and @skofcarolina I will look into to. thanks!
Peanut ball? Hospitals and midwives use them to help ladies who are slow to dilate. They get pretty good reviews.
how are you doing with the contractions are you tensing up? I went through 4 days of 3-5 minutes apart contractions with no change until I relaxed my body... I sat in the bathtub for 2 hours and made progress
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
sit straight up and keep your feet together in a frog position, it worked for me at the hospital to dialate
