i've been 1cm dialted for about 2weeks already, is their anything i can do to make me dialte more?
is it true that if you rub your collar bone, you will start labor really soon? just curious, and dont want to be over due when i have my baby.

Do u mean the acupressure ? Its the point on ur shoulder just above your collar bone that hurts wen u press in to it, & also just above ur ankle bone, iv bin 3cm since 34week iv bin told its because  iv been on my birthing ball, & drinking rasberry leaf tea, i dont belive the accupressure works as iv tried that to start my labour & it didnt work. Google "how to natrually induce labour" & it will tell you things how to help soften your cervix etc. Good luck :)

I've never heard of rubbing the collar bone. Kinda funny. You'll find lots of wives tales but your body will decide when its ready. Walking, sex, and nipple stimulation are things my doc suggested and I still went to 41.5 wks with my first.
