Answer 1

I understand that you want your husband to be there for you. I myself would be upset if my husband wasn't around for the birth of our child.

However, the baby's health needs to be a priority. You can't 'make' yourself dilate faster. The baby will come when it's ready. It could be tonight, it could be next week.

I was dilated at 3cm and 100% effaced for three weeks before I actually gave birth.

I really truly feel for you. Call your doctor, but I really don't think they'd admit you or induce labor unless there was an issue.

Answer 2

Good luck to you, your baby will come when its ready, you can however walk on a curb one foot on and one foot off and see if gravity will help pull baby down. That is what the hospital had me do when I was stuck at a 3 with my son (cant stay at hospital unless you are a 4) it didnt work for me but they swear it works for most. Also don't laugh but some people say sex speeds it along and if you water has broken its still safe to have sex. If you husband is leaving anyway it might be a good time for that :-)

Answer 3

yes - i do reflexology -
massage (with lotion) the back of your foot -both feet- on each side (below your ankle) where most people have sunken in or indentions - rub there a deep massage motion - this is the relfex to your female organs this will open your cervix- never do this until your ready to deliver because it does WORK ! it will make you deliver so be ready within a couple hours- good luck !! and God bless you & your new little blessing*

also you can use this for healing after the baby is born - It would be great advantage for you to get a book that has all the diagrams in it - it will even be good for your baby to use reflexology on him/her for example fever arrives from the pitutary in the brain - when you rub the center of the big toe - (reflex to the pitutary) it will lower the fever in minutes.
God bless**

Answer 4

unless you know what you are doing, i would leave it up to the baby to decide when to have it come. if you are an ob. you would already know how to strip your membranes or rupture you amniotic sac and all. but it can be deadly if you dont know what you are doing. also your being dialated to a 3-4 wont get you into labor, a 4 may get you into the hospital, but unless your baby is ready you wont have it..

Answer 5

the natural way is to move around do some exercise and make sure you get a bit weak this may force you into labor since you are due already hope it works

Answer 6

OK just don't panic try sleeping sometimes that helps then if that does not work try breathing!! hee-hooo heehee-hoooooooooo!!
then i guess it could come after the fire!!!good luck!!!!i will pray for you!!!
