Dilation: I am sure you have heard all the "natural" ways to help dilate, such as going for a car ride over a bumpy road, drinking castor oil, having sex etc. Wether or not any of these work is a matter of debate. Baby comes when baby wants to come and there really is nothing you can do to help. We have medications to help, but even those do not always work. Good luck, baby will come out, they always do
