Ways to help dilate??

Question

I’ll be 38 weeks w my second on Tuesday. I’ve been 1cm since 36 weeks. What are ways to help myself dilate? 
I was 1cm at 36w w my son & I was 1cm till I was induced w him at 40w6d & had to use the Foley catheter to help dilate myself. 
I do not like pineapples 🍍 & will NOT do castor oil because I’m not taking that chance 🙅🏼‍♀️ (it’s not safe at all to me) so please don’t suggest those. Thanks !!

Answer

My Doula recommended wall sits. Basically squatting all the way down (feet flat on the floor and tailbone almost to the ground so basically your vagina is pointing out into the room) and leaning against a wall. 1min squat and then stand for 30 seconds. Repeat a handful of times 3-4x per day. This helps bring Baby down and encourages the head to press against the cervix.
