Finally after all of the contractions and pain for over 2 weeks I'm 1cm dilated and 70% thinned out. I am super excited. I never dilated with my first 2 kids so this is new to me. Anyone have suggestions on how to naturally help yourself dilate and thin out? I don't want him to come too soon but scared I won't dilate anymore and I already have my induction date scheduled. 16 hours in labor using pitocin with no pain medicine or epidural is horrible. Just would like to be a little more dilated so I'm not in labor so long
