A member asked:
I'm 31 weeks pregnant and has been in labor twice. what can i do to jump start my labor. i'm already 3 cm dilated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Preterm labor: Don't do it! 31 weeks is too early to deliver unless you have a life-threatening illness that can only be treated by or via delivery. Otherwise, we don't encourage elective deliveries prior to reaching 36-37 weeks gestation. Talk to your obstetrician or family doc about your concerns. Many women stay at 3cm dilation for quite some time.
