I feel silly for asking.....

Can your babies head pushing down on your cervix cause dilation? I ask cause sometimes it is painful. I'm 33 weeks an in danger of pre term labor as I am already 4cm dilated
So every little pain freaks me out. Thanks for you time.

Yes. It's supposed to, but not so great if it's that early. My baby wasn't positioned right so I needed artificial help dilating during labor.

Yes. Baby's head pushing up against the cervix can cause you to dilate.
