Im 39 weeks and due date is so close, baby still hasn't dropped much. The waiting is making me restless, i just want things to start naturally. Is there anything that actually helps the cervix open up? Will ask my gynac too but wanted to hear from you all.
In my case things didnt progress and we went for a C-section, which was handled safely by the doctors. Dilation isnt something to force on your own. Trust your medical team to decide whats best.
My gynac explained the cervix softens and opens on its own as labour begins, and if needed they help it medically in the hospital. She said nothing should be tried at home. Definitely a doctor managed thing only.
Please dont try to do anything yourself for this, it happens naturally near labour or is managed by doctors when needed. I would never attempt home tricks for the cervix. Leave this entirely to your gynac.
