I have a suggestion (which was approved by my OBGYN) on a way to help yourself along. I started taking EVENING PRIMROSE OIL (EPO)... which in midwifery is believed to NOT INDUCE labor, but definitely softens the cervix which will help in dilation and effacement. My OBGYN said he cant say whether it works, but said it cant hurt to try it. I take 2,000 mg orally and then in the evening before bed you can pin-prick the capsule & put the oil directly on your cervix internally (using good hygiene of course) if youre comfortable with that.

You really have to be dilated much further. If this is your 4th child.. you know how they can go back and forth. I wouldn't recommend making yourself go in to active labor.. you don't want an early baby. You risk the high chance of the baby having health problems. I stayed dilated for 2 months at 2 cm. I have patients who stay dilated for even longer.

while the dr. reported 5 a million/2 weeks, became into he going with the help of the date of her final era, or did he du an ultrasound? If he did an ultrasound, then the 5 a million/2 weeks is probable suited. The due date you gave, would 12, sounds too early in case you slept together with her on the twenty 8th. i think of it would be approximately 2 weeks later, yet that is in basic terms an estimate. My terrific suggestion would be to flow to the dr. together with her lower back, and notice what the dr. is telling her, that way, you will possibly be constructive she's no longer changing the data around to make the dates suited so you could be the father. Does that make sense? while she is around 20 weeks alongside, the dr. will choose to do an ultrasound, to ascertain issues and maybe discover out the gender. flow together with her to this one. The dr. will say how many weeks alongside for constructive, and tell her the due date lower back (each and every so often they alter it after an ultrasound). Ask her or him around what date the infant became into conceived, and if it became into way previously you slept together with her, then there is your answer suited there. After the infant is born, definately have a DNA try completed. while you at the instant are not to any extent further which incorporate this lady, you do no longer choose to offer her funds to develop a baby that's no longer yours. additionally, in case you do purchase something for the infant previously that's born, and previously the paternity try outcomes come back, be constructive to maintain the receipt. That way, if the infant isn't yours, you may the two return the item, or get you funds lower back from her. in basic terms make constructive to no longer do something to place distinctive extra tension on the relationship together with her. If it does finally end up being your infant, no rely how little you go with to do with this lady, she is going to be on your existence for some years. good success, and, no rely if it is your infant in spite of everything, congratulations.

The dilatation has already begun and since this will be your fourth delivery, it can progress rapidly. Keep everyone concerned duly informed as you would require assistance for being carried to a hospital that may be at an awkward time of the day.

those last few weeks are crappy. As you already know as for how far you got go it's to 10cm so 7.5 more! Really being dilated dose not mean the baby will come any sooner MANY women are even 4 cm dialed weeks before birth. You can walk, have sex, ask your doc to strip your membranes "they may or may not". Nipple stimulation can cause contractions. It will happen. I was 3cm for 7 weeks with my 2ed i thought for sure she would be pre mature she came at 37 weeks 3 days.

You have to go to 10. Try to relax, you'll make it, and your baby will be healthier in 25 days. You don't want to go into labor until the baby's lungs are fully developed. You can try walking. It might make you feel better.

I am really concerned that you are so miserable with the 4th child? Are you experiencing a lot of swelling and things? Make sure you complain loudly to your doctor! They take is seriously when "experienced" mothers complain of being miserable. Then complain loudly to your family members, you need rest and help at this time!

This is your 4th child and you don't know how far you have to dilate? Try castrol, or something strenuous, moving furniture etc...
