What does this mean?

I had my 37 week appointment today. I got tested for the group B strep and then he checked my cervix. He said I an soft and thinned but no openings. I'm assuming he meant I am effaced but not dilated?

So if that's what he means, how can I start dilation?

I already walk the stairs in my house more than 30+ times a day. Lol. I'll try stimulating my nipples and see how that goes. I heard bouncing on a yoga ball helps as well?

Stimulate your nipples and walk. Sex is supposed to work but never did with my babies. Best of luck momma!!

Do squats. Have sex with your partner or stimulate your nipples thats causes oxytocin to be released and starts opening your cervix.
