[FutureMom32]

I'm 38 weeks and 3cm dilated what can I do to dilated some more?

Thanks the doctor said its because the baby head is down there pushing

Those pains are most likely from pressure and possibly dialation.  That's GOOD.  It may be uncomfortable but it helps!

[FutureMom32]

Yes I tried that it seem like he comfortable just laying in my pelvic area and he don't want to come out and my contractions is only 11 minutes apart

having sex maybe? sperm is said to soften the cervix

Yeah but those could be helping you to dilate. The only thing that is really going to work is putting pressure on your cervix. So walking or bouncing on a yoga ball.

[FutureMom32]

Yes I tried walking but since I've been walking everyday twice a day I got this really bad pain and pressure in my pelvic area and it hurts very bad

[LosingMyMindInGA]

Walk, walk, walk.  Bouncing on an excercise ball is great too!
