A member asked:

What are some ideas to get your mind off getting your cervix dilated ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Two things: What is the purpose of the belly button? Why do kiwis have such a strange covering and can you eat it? Actually, I am being facetious, there is not much in the way of getting your mind off those things you are dwelling about. Try yoga breathing, positive thoughts. That might work.
