2cm Dilated

[Obes_Mommy]

Does anyone know any ways to help dilate past 2cm? Im not due until Sept. 13th but every week since i was 32 weeks I have been into the hospital with really strong contractions coming 3-4 minutes apart buht they weren't helping me dilate so they monitored me and stopped them and sent me home but I am 75% effaced. I need help because I'm sooo uncomfortable. I didnt have this problem with my first daughter. I dont understand why they keep sending me home just to return in a week with the exact same problem.

If u live near the beach. You can try walking the beach then sit at the sea side and let the tide keep hitting against your stomach. My friend was having contractions around 2 am and she went to the hospital but was only 1cm so she Goya send home. Went to the beach that evening and 10 pm she was in active labor. Had her son 1am the next day.

I know this is an old post, but just be warned, i induced my own labor for my 2nd child and I endured 36 hours of labor with no epidural because I wouldnt dilate. They finally ended up doing a c section because it was stressing the baby.

If you aren't dilating they will send you back home every time. I've heard all those work really well also. Stimulation is the best way.

Im due in September also. My sister recently had her baby and she drank castor oil to induce her labor. She drank 3 teaspoons and walked around after words for a hour or so. Later, around 12/1a.m, she went into labor and dilated every other hour. Best of luck to uIif u decide to induce ur own labor :)

Sex or fresh pineapples is wat I've heard helps
