OMG!!
I went to the doctor yesterday and Jayden is head down, way down! And i am 3cm dialated and im only 36 weeks! what can i do to get my cervix to dialate more and get these contractions going?
My water broke yesterday at 4:20 a.m. and i delivered my beautiful baby boy at 12:49 p.m. that same day. He is perfect! Welcome to the world Jayden Scott Fisher!
Doctor said im almost but not quite 4 cm...i want to speed up dilation how can i do that
Ok thanks my next appointment is monday if i dont go into labor before then i guess. i will see what he has to say monday.
I honestly cant give you an accurate answer. Could you be more dialated yes, but its not a guarantee. My Dr. doesn't even check is someone is dialated until at least 38 weeks because it doesn't always help much. YOu can be dialated and not go into labor for weeks or you can be dialated and go into labor hours later.........Just know you are getting closer and try to be patient with everything---trust me I know this is difficult!! Keep walking!
It is probably the baby pushing down into the birthing canal, it often causes sharp pains since there are nerves and what not that can get pushed by the baby. The more the baby is working its way down they more there is going to be pushing on the cervix.
I went to the doctor yesterday with lower back pain and i was still 3 cm. But today i been having really sharp pains inside my vagina is that my cervix dialating more?
You may want to mention it to your dr. I started at 36 when I started my weekly visits.
You may want to ask your dr because mine started at 36 when I started my weekly visits.

at 36 weeks you may not want to try anything to induce labor just yet. Let that bun finish cooking. I would recomend at 37 weeks (full term) start walking , having alot of sex and nipple stimulation. Also try bouncing on a exercise ball to try to incourage your cervix to dialate more. Im 39 weeks and only 2 cm dialated so far. Good luck to you and keep us posted on your progress :)
Well they started checking my cervix 34 weeks and then he checked me at 36 weeks. at 34 my cervix is still closed but at 36 weeks i was 3 cm. i got another appointment monday. But im thinking i may have just had my first contraction. how long does a contraction last?
My dr. has not checked me to see if I have dilated & I am 37&5 when do they usually start?
If you are 36 weeks I wouldn't do anything to push labor, full term is 37 and better safe then sorry! I would wait another week before trying, and really your body might do this on its own without you doing anything. All the herbal stuff is more of a wives tale, and plus they don't recommend herbal medication when pregnant, so I would stay away from it. I would go with the natural stuff, walking and sex, try to keep upright and moving and your body will dialate. Good Luck
Well i was 3 cm yesterday and i been walking and me and my husband tried sex last night. I get aches in my back and lower stomach but no contractions. I want to get them going. I am only 36 weeks!
I go to the doctor thursday and I hope I am further than 1cm like I was last week. Walk and have sex is my suggestion.
