Can exercise by running cause cervix to dilate ? can running or any type of exercise cause early labor ?

Sometimes...: Without knowing more about you, such as your gestational age, and pregnancy history, I can only give you a partial answer: Yes, in some situations, running or exercise can cause pre-term labor and cervical dilation. You need to ask your Ob about your specific case. Frequently its ok to exercise.
