9 months Pregnant 80% Effaced and 2cm dilated, How to help you dilate More? ?

Question

I am 9 Months Prego 80% Effaced and 2cm dilated. I have been having a lot of Braxton Hicks Contractions along with back pain. Have been to the Dr. and he said that since my contractions are every 2 to 4 minutes apart they were not regular enough to be true labor yet. He told me if I dilate to 4 they will get things started. So any one know of anything to make you dilate faster?

Answer 1

What helps more than anything is being nine months pregnant and 2cm dilated.

Nature will do the rest, tonight, tomorrow, with or without s*x, or wild car rides, or walking.

But if it makes you feel like you are doing something then none of those things will hurt.

I cleaned closets, had the baby two hours later, but I don't think cleaning closets are what did it, the baby being ready did it.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Walking helps...having s*x helps too!! So get to it girlfriend!

Answer 3

walk around.....or it will take forever....this helps the baby move down....good luck x

Answer 4

Taking a long brisk walk, climbing stairs, doing some squats (it does help open up the pelvic area), or having s*x (doggy style).

Answer 5

Listen to proud mommy it worked for my friend she walked around that mall so many times went home and had baby that night.  

Answer 6

s*x works the best, sperm is a natural way to relax and open the cervix. But if that doesn't work walk as much as you can or lightly bounce on a birthing/yoga ball. and if the s*x thing doesn't work at least you can have fun trying

Answer 7

walking and s*x help.  

Answer 8

Walk walk walk!! s*x, s*x, s*x!!

Answer 9

this sounds awful, but have s*x, i actually broke my water this way!

Answer 10

Personally I walked a mountain.. yea i did..but it did not speed up my contractions. I walked with my baby girl though, in a stroller, i walked with her a mile... finally when I got home? I lost my mucus plug. It was gross...that very nite my sis inlaw took me in.. she was there with my nephew.. after they had left ...the next day i had a baby boy...  

Answer 11

Yep, Go to the mall.. Walk each and every store, do it twice if you have the energy.. Go home Rest, and I bet you will be in labor tonight. If the mall is closed.. Go to a hilly park or trail. Trust me, it will work if baby is ready.
