A member asked:
Im 34 weeks and found out im 1cm dilated and 30% effaced. is there any foods i need to avoid to cause further dilation? lemon tamarind etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are no foods that enhance or stop cervical dilation. Decreasing extreme physical activity if you are having severe cramping is sometimes effective.
