Thanks! :) Jen

I would talk to your OB about a prescription for Prilosec for your heartburn. I had it my entire pregnancy and about three weeks ago I had a sinus infection/cold on top of the nonstop heartburn. She gave me keflex for the infection and prilosec for the heartburn. It worked miracles. I haven't felt heartburn since. Wish she would've given it to me earlier. Water even gave me heartburn. Good luck!!!
I am 38 weeks as of today and 1 cm dilated as well. I wanted to be induced on the 11th cause lets face it, having a birthday of 10/11/12 would be pretty cool, but they hospital will not induce you more than 7 days from your due date and that day was 8 days away. (I'm due on the 19th) A friend of mine said that she got a recipe for Lemon Drop Cupcakes and she strongly believes that it helped induce both her and her friend who was also pregnant. Her friend went into labor the same night she ate them and she went into labor the very next day. Try and find a recipe for those cupcakes and the homemade icing that goes with it and good luck! I will be trying the recipe on the 10th. :0)
walking dose not help when they checked me at 37weeks I was almost a two so I walked n at 39 weeks no improvment I was so mad
ive had two kids and theyve both been late.both a week my second i had to be induced. for some reason i cant walk through walmart for more then 10 minutes without feeling all my insides are gonna just drop. im also dialated to a 1. advice?
The only reason they say pineapples work is bc of something in them in there natural state... I forgot what its called...but canned pineapples lose this in the preservation process... It needs to be fresh pineapple
I also have the same problem am 1cm and the doctor said I was very thin (I have no idea of what that means) I want this baby out already I feel like she's uncomftroble in there because am not streching anymore. If i do the jogging man would it work?
I am 37 weeks i have done walking and sex nothens workinv for me to dilate i get induce on the 26 but tired of being pregnant is there any methods i have contractions but no dilting
I'm about 38 weeks and a 1/2cm dilated! My husband swears I'm going to be early, but I swear ge's wrong. We actually have a bet. What can I do to slow things down?

okay so im dilated 1 cm and i have 2 weeks and 1 day left until my due date whats gonna happen i need to dilate like rite now , walking really doesnt work becuz i walked from oakwood and thurman (outsouth) to cleveland ave and 23rd (up north) and still aint nothing changed and that was a hour and 30 min walk !! so im not understanding and ppl telling me to drink castor oil but after seeing those other comments about that I THINK NOT , IM SCARED this is my first son and i dnt want nothing to happen to my lil man !! so like is there anything else ? i even tryed swinging on a swing and i even walked around a trail at the park , im still only 1 cm dilated !!!
im 37 weeks and 1cm how can i speed up the process my bD lock up so sex out the question what else can i do
from a medical standpoint, the person commenting on the castor oil, she is correct... the baby is practicing breathing.. she/he breathes in amniotic fluid.. if te baby has a bowel movement, it ends up in the amniotic fluid, therefore the baby breathes it in. if this happens, if this happens infection can set in the lungs, therefore making complications for the unborn and possibly death due to the fact the baby being too little to fight the infection! SO YES, CASTOR OIL IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE UNBORN!
I am 38 weeks and 2 days. I was diolated 1 cm at 36 weeks. I am now 2cm and at a stand still. I cant sleep, cant, eat without the heartburn, I sleep all day cause I cant sleep at night, I am ready for my baby to be in my arms so bad. Is there anything I can do to speed up this diolatation prosses up? I have been walking sense 35 weeks and its not helping...
I am a cosmetologist and it is proven that women should not get a pedicure late within their pregnancy because the massaging will actually send women into labor.
Im 39 Weeks And Im Scheduled To Be Induced On Monday i Will Be Exactly 40 Weeks I Really Don't want To Be Induced I Want Him To Come On his Own But I have Been 2 cm For Like 2wks Now I Tried Castor Oil n All It Did Was Send Me to the Hospital Wit Contractions.. They had Me Go walk Once and that didnt Help At all :-( so they just Gave Me Visterall and Sent Me Home I Was So Upset I Walked For Hours After And Before that I Even Did Jumpin Jacks 110 Of Em And Nothing Is Working He Is All Ready My Body Just Keeps holding On to Him Im So Tired Of Bein Pregnant I Wanna See My Baby!!!
im 37 weeks and i am 1centimeter dilated. i read your advice and im going to try my walking now! I'll keep you posted on whether it worked for me or not,but in the long run your advice sounds like it would be helpful alot so here i go,and wish me LUCK!!!
the oil is sapost to make you have diahrea and my dr told me today that diahrea makes the contractions come faster but it also dehidrates you so make shure if u do it drink lots of water. walking on unlevel ground is sapost to help also sex, and certin presur points, and riding in or on anything that vibrates like 4 weelers or horse helps but can cause more problims than good like it could cause u to have the plicinta detach from the cervix. i did the presur points last thursday and started having contractions the next day. it is now tuesday and i had a dr apt today he told me that i was one cen dialated but he thinks it will be this week. i had sex last night and that boosted it every time i walk i feel them stronger but when i stop and lay down they are not as strong they have been 20 min apart cince last night after sex. the dr said if they get to be 10 min or les it is time to got to the hospital. how can i make this faster?
I am 38 weeks today and am 1 cm dilated and really soft. Yesterday I tried walking, having sex, nipple stimulation, and castor oil. Absolutely nothing worked. I have just accepted the fact that this baby is not coming until he is ready. Also the castor oil barely even did what is was supposed to. I was only in the bathroom twice. I was dilated early with my daughter and went in to get induced and ended up going into labor on my own. I truly believe that a baby can not be forced out. They will come when they are ready.
Does PineApples really work?? is so im bout to eat an whole can... but im 36weeks an 6 days i will be 37weeks tomorrow an i have dilated 1cm an i am so ready to have this bby my cervix is thin so what to do now?? any answer??
i think u should just wait until your baby is ready...im 38 weeks so i no how u feel but you should be happy u mde it this far in your pregnancy..
this may sound stupid but i'm telling you now it worked for all 3 of my sisters...all they did was walk for about 2 hours and everytime they came to a corner or inersection they would squat down like they are sitting in a chair for about 5 seconds...IT WORKS!!! i'm 36 weeks pregnant and 1 cm dialated...when i reach 38 weeks i'm going to be doing what they all did. CONGRATTS!!!!
