No progress??! 😭😭😢😢

Question

Went to the doctor today and found out I'm still 1cm... it's been two weeks and I feel like he is cracking my pelvic bone :( what works best to progress dilation?? I'm a ftm and just don't know what are safe options :) thank you in advance!

Answer

You can be dilated for weeks before labor! You can go into labor and never dilate. I understand the pain your in, I needed a walker at 36 week with my first baby because of pelvic pain, but just let nature take its course.

Answer

How many weeks are you?

Answer

I was 2Cm from weeks 27-38 last pregnancy so dilation really means nothing unless you're in labor.

Answer

Not to be a Debbie downer but you can be dialated for a while before going into actual labor. It's really no indication anything is going to happen soon. My friend was 2cm at 35w for 2 weeks then 3cm for another 3 weeks... She finally went into labor at 40w 6d. So unfortunately you'll just have to wait it out until baby is ready. I know all of us July mommas are getting impatient! I'm not due until the 25th so still have about 6w to go. Hang tight.

Answer

It's important to remember that even if you are only 1cm dilated you can still go in to labore regardless of how dilated you are like your water breaking and nothing will really happen unless it's time sorry 😕 I know I'm getting so impatient too but there isn't really anything we can do but wait which sucks 😫
