@menetc84 It is supposed to be ways to HELP people dialate. No where does it say it will work for sure.

That's for you, all women are different and what works for one will not work for all. My waters where broken with my first child and it did nothing at all, the only thing that worked was the hormone drip. With my seccond child I walked up some verry steep hills and that got me going. I am pregnent with my 3rd atm (3 weeks to go) and I haven't been able to have intercourse for months because it's been putting me into early labour. Poor hubby can't even play with my breasts atm cause that is too.

This is not proven to work. As a matter of fact, my midwife recommended this and it did nothing but stress my husband and I. What worked was the rupture of membranes! It took 3hrs-30 mins from the moment my water was ruptured till the birth of my daughter.
