A member asked:
I am 36 weeks , had appointment with dr today she said i am already dilated 2cm and the baby is too low. how to speed up the process to dilate more.

May not be : good to speed up yet, unless other health issues are going on. Waiting till baby is closer to your due date could be best. Movement counts can be reassuring daily for confirmation of ongoing good fetal health.

Things to ponder: At 36 wks baby has a 50% risk of needing ICU care for a week or more for respiratory problems. For every day you delay delivery the risk drops. It may be uncomfortable to be pregnant but it takes more work than you have done to this point.
