Self Dilation ?

[Eryn_Peak]

Okay so hi guys I have told y'all about my situation.. brief recap I'm going to be delivering at 36 Weeks (im 34 weeks now) due to medical issues and all that jazz. I have appointments twice a week, and today they checked my cervix and I'm not dilated at all (which isnt surprising) but she said if i dont start dilating soon I will be at risk for having a C-Section. And I DO NOT WANT THAT!!! So any moms know of ANYTHING that can help start the dilation process? And no im not trying to induce labor for those of you who are going to say I need to wait.. it's not my choice to have an early delivery!

I'm delivering at 36wks (if i make it that far) due to medical issues as well! They're doing a csection because my baby is too immature to be born yet and they need to keep my bp down. I'm going in the day beforehand so that they can give my another round of steroid injections for baby's lungs and at delivery I'll have my peadiatrician and the nicu team there, so its a lot more controlled and less effort for baby this was. It was the same when I had my son at 35wks for the same reason last year. Have they discussed the reasons for doing it this way with you? I wish you and baby all the best.

If they want you to deliver early usually they will give you something (like cervadil) to thin you out and then induce labor. Did they give you an explanation for jumping right to csection?
