I'm 38+5 and have been in 1cm for two week's now. Everytime I go to my doctor she tells me I haven't had any progress and that I'm still closed and barely soft. None of the females in my family have broken water on their own. I've read that doing squats helps the baby dilate and induces labor naturally. I will be 39 week's on Thursday & I'm praying she tells me I have made some progress and dilated enougg already at my appointment tomorrow. If not I have decided to do the squats and see what happens from there. What do you ladies think? Has anyone been through it or try squats?
