Any advice on encouraging dilation? I'm aiming for a VBAC and my doctor wants me to dilate to pretty much as far as I can on my own before we induce. But with it being a VBAC the sooner the better especially with my blood pressure problems this pregnancy. I have been walking every day as much as I can. Sex is not an option for me since I am single and not about a booty call. Maybe TMI but I have been masturbating because for me it orgasms cause contractions. I know that semen is what helps you dilate with sex but I figured contractions can't hurt. Any food or tea that can help? Preferably something you can get at Wal-Mart but I will take online suggestions too.
I broke down at my moms house today ... because of the debt we owe and Passover is coming and it’s a very expensive holiday ... it was just way too much .... my mom i guess told my brother that I’m suffering and he called me over and asked me why i didn’t just ask for help, and offered to help when i need it . And gave me basically 4K to help for the month and if i need more to ask ... now one thing about me , is that i will suffer silently and won’t ask for help.... I’ve always been that way. ...
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.
So threw up the brew but still having some contractions. I suppose it will help dilation.
Sigh so I guess my appointment for Friday to get monitoring is still on .
I hope my fluids stay consistent.
Ways to help dilation other than sex and walking? Trust me this girl has don’t plenty of both! Just haven’t made much change 😞😂
