Just came back from my OB appointment he confirmed I dropped 5 cm in my stomach and I am 100% effaced, lost my plug, baby is completely engaged. He said because this is my second pregnancy and my cervix is stretched already, and dilation at this point isn't very accurate, but he did say I was dilated just didn't give me cm. I am looking for ways to help me dilate. I am having severe pelvic pains when I walk, and no consistent contractions. I just really would like to dilate so I can have this baby already!

Hoping for some suggestions on activities/ pain relief.

Also, will swimming be counter productive in dilation because the gravity isn't pulling baby down?

Thanks
