I found that excercising is the only thing that is bringing on contractions. I don't know if they are doing anything because the doctors here don't check to see if your dilated. I always hope the contractions keep going but they don't. I tried water aerobics and I got about three contractions after the hour.  This is my first baby so I really don't know anything or have any experience but I hope that it works out for you!

You can try evening primrose oil 1000mg but the thing with breech presentations is that they do not always out the right kind of pressure to make you dialate. You can also try walking and sitting on a birthing ball to open the pelvis and maybe that will work some also. Best of luck!

I really don't know how you can get yourself to dilate.  I was dilated 1cm in my 36th week.  I will be 39 weeks in two days and my next appt is today.  I am hoping I am more dilated.  Are you having any contractions?  I am still not sure if I am or not.
