Ways to dilate more ?!

[mumtobee22]

Hi all. Currently 38 weeks n 5 days pregnant. Got my first sweep yesterday and consultant said I was dilated 1cm. Just 1cm since the sweep I've had minor period cramps that come once or twice a day. I've had no bleeding or nothing and feel fine. Just so fed up at this point due date is 9th August. Any ways to dilate faster at home, no sign of this baby and so fed up :(

Baby is also weighing over 8 pound just so fed up

I was induced so slightly different but apart from being on the monitor I didn't sit down at all I did laps of the hospital and bounced allllll day. I went from 3-10cm in 2 hours.

Sex kicked labour up a gear with our 3rd. Wish we'd tried it with our 2nd too, was in slow labour with him for 6 days from being 1cm dilated.

Sex, a glass of wine and a bath!!
