[jen2006]

I am due next week.. and only 1 cm. dilated! (which is an improvement from my first two pregnancies.. I wouldn't dilate at all...) now that I am dilating.. what can I do to speed this process up a little?! (besides sex or castor oil)..

Thanks! :) Jen

I'd  say walk alot i'm in the exact same shoe's as  you are, due on March 12th and today dr told me i was 1cm dilated  AHHH is right can't!!!  I had castor oil with my first daughter it didn't do squat but made me feel sick all night and i lost five pounds ewww never doing that again. My friend told me today the old method to walk the stairs up and down ten times with heavy  pots. I asked does it count if i carry my 30 pound daughter up and down the stairs? she said lol  yes..
so ill try this tomorrow lol..
good luck to you!!

Just walk as much as you possibly can. It's the most healthy, natural thing to do. Good luck :)
