With me I was very scared about how it would effect me an my baby to have a vaginal delivery. With so much stress I was worried so I tryed everything I could to soften my cervix an push her out sooner. What really worked for me was Walking, Sex, Warm baths & Relaxation!! In the end I still had to have a c section but doc said whatever I did helped soften me 100% an dilated me to 3cm in 3 days. Try it (: but don't over do it!(: good luck.
