My friend's DP has just called to say that she has been in established labour all night, contractions 5 mins apart but only 1 cm. The midwife has been with them all night. Unless she dilates more within 2 hours she is to be moved to the hospital. They are having a home birth (their 1st baby) and I have been helping them prepare for this. They want me to come over and I am just thinking through ways of helping her to encourage dilation.
Any suggestions welcome.....please - walking around to get baby's head in a better position / homeothpathy, visualisation / and ?????? Thanks
