What to do????!!

Question

Im 38 weeks and I've only dilated 2cm. can anyone relate and what should i do to dilate more???

Answer

Dilation prior to labor doesn’t matter. It’s just kind of a bonus because it’s work your body won’t have to do while in labor. You can try to help your body along by being active - walk, go up and down stairs, have sex, bounce on a yoga ball.

Answer

dilation doesn't matter as your body can go from 2cm to 6cm in a matter of hours. I was at the hospital all day yesterday on monitors. I'm only 2cm dilated and 70% effaced but I'm in early labor so doc said baby will be here in the next 72 hours and that I can dilate a lot in just a short amount of hours. she sent me home to stay active- walking, yoga ball, sex, dancing, cleaning the house etc

Answer

I had my first check at 37 weeks today and I'm not dilated at all. Not even a hair. Baby's head is down and low, but she's just not ready yet. Doctor wasn't concerned at all.

Answer

At the hospital (not sure if it’s safe at home!) after I was induced they stick a peanut ball between my legs and it helped me dilate!

This is the ball they used. They had me lay on one side with it between my legs for an hour and then flip to my other side for an hour. It dilated me I think 4 cm in those two hours? 
Definitely call your doctor first before using it, just to be sure they aren’t worried about it for any reason!
