Any ideas on how to help your body progress. I'm not really progressing much. 2-3 cm dilated and 60-70% effaced for a few weeks now. Currently 38 weeks and 5 days. My doctor has given me the option to induce but I want him to come on his own. Please don't suggest castor oil i have my own options on it. No negative comments either. Thank you!
@cooperd0122, so put you and your child at risk because she’s on vacation? Craziness. My doctor said the same and I laughed in her face. I said I’m not risking that for the 10 minutes you’ll be in the room. All set.
Your body won’t go into labor until it’s ready. Nipple stim, rolling your hips on a ball, sex. It’s best for baby to just let baby come when he’s ready as long as both you and him are medically ok.
It might be a little weird but they say sexual arousal from your partner or just by yourself can help get you more dilated and if you climax
@cooperd0122, 😬 I do not like when OBs do this. Well I mean, lots of sex. Semen helps. Lots of walking.
@phoebesmommy I'll be 39 weeks Monday. She's not going to be in town on my due date so she had gave me the option to be induced if I want her to deliver.
I was fingertip dilated up until I went in to labor. Don't stress about it. It doesn't mean much until you're actually having contractions.
