A member asked:
Im 37 weeks pregnant, my baby is not engaged and ive dilated to a 1. how can i start getting my contractions started & how can i get him in position?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Starting : contractions is not easy until the timing of the pregnancy sends the proper hormone signals. Trying right and left sides to rest, can allow the baby to shift into a position allowing the head to more easily engage/descend into the pelvis.
