I had sex to get things rolling, walked a ton. Curb walked, rocked on my ball and walked the stairs I had contractions for 5 days I was 7cm when I arrived to the hospital after my water broke

I drank a lil bit of castor oil at 2cm and my baby boy slid right out 6/7 hours later. Not recommending you or anyone to do so just telling you what I did💕Good luck!

i walked a TON and did yoga but having sex put me in labor. my whole labor process was less than 24 hours and i pushed for maybe 30 minutes. i’m a ftm too, the charge nurse tried to tell me not to come in but i knew i was in active labor, was 5 cm when i arrived. i had him 5 hours after i got to the hospital at exactly 38 weeks. but whatever you DO NOT DRINK CASTOR OIL. it’s super dangerous. so a lot of walking if you can and yoga. relaxing and beneficial

I agree with @Kaliyah dont drink castor oil ive heard more horror storys of drinkin it then actual good stories try having sex,walking etc and yoga walk up and down stairs

Membrane sweep at the doctor's I had one done at 38w3d with my second kid 3 yrs bc I was 3 cm dilated next day went into labor

Walking.. sex.. using one of those exercise balls can help too.. I was induced for my first 2.. but my last one came at 37 weeks.. all by himself because I wouldn't sit still.. long shopping days..dancing & being goofy as always helped speed the process 😅 sometimes it takes a while being the 1st birth.. Just listen & trust your body..

Or get your partner to take you 4wd driving or roads with lots of curves turns etc hope that makes sence

Everyone’s body is different. There is no set way to increase or speed up dilation. I tried all of the things and was induced with my first baby. My second baby was a surprise and came early. The best way to try and jump start labor is talk with your OB and have them do a membrane sweep.

SEX and curb walks

Flavored Aloe Water , Okra Water , Pineapple. Are all great ways to help you dilate fast

Tons of lunges, sex, spicy food, curb walking, yoga ball action and going up and down stairs!!!

Try do things that release oxytocin like sex, cuddling your partner anything to release the love hormone

I was in 1cm for 3 weeks, I tried everything, after my second membrane sweep, my water broke with little contractions, I was 40 weeks and 5 days and after 35 hours, with the last 6 hours been induced and stuck in 6cm, got a c-section.

Sex is number 1 and definitely a curb walk x
