I've been contracting every 3-4 minutes and they're mild to medium pain. We went to the hospital and they said I was 1 cm dilated. I'm just trying to get things moving along! We went for a mile walk and had sex! What else can I do?!
One thing that my birth class teacher suggested was sitting on the toilet backwards with a pillow on the tank you can rest your arms/head on. The idea is that sitting on the toilet is something your body is used to "opening up" for, and it can help with dilation.
