You are dilated to a one dont think you are effaced would castor oil work to get in labor?

You are 100 effaced and 1 cm dilated how much longer do you think it could be or can i do anything to speed up the process?

If the cervix is 100% effaced and one centimeter dilated, it means that the cervix is completely thinned out but dilation is not that much. The baby will come when he is ready, but some women walk or have sex in an attempt to bring on labor.

If your having painless contractions and are 1 centimeter dilated are you in labor?

no, I am 37w 2 days and I'm 80% effaced and 1 cm and they don't think I'll go into actually labor for at least another week if not more. your contractions are just getting your cervix ready for actual labor.

If you are 4 cm dilated and 85 percent effaced and have starting having false labor how long until you go into true labor?

It totally depends! If you think you are going into labor, call your doctor or just go into the hospital. They will be able to tell you. I was 3 cm dilated for weeks and weeks! I got up to 70% effaced by 38 weeks. I went into labor and went into the hospital, however they sent me home because I didn't dilate past 3 cm in the entire hour I was there. 6 hours later I had my baby! So it happened very quickly for me. Pretty much RIGHT when I got home from my first trip to the hospital I started going into true and hard labor! Good Luck. :)

You are 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant and one and a half cm dilated how much longer do you have?

i have been 1 cm for 3 weeks now! I dont think that how dilated you are really matters unless you are in active labor!

I am 2 CM 75 effaced my Mucus Plug fell out the other morning when do you think Labor will start Hopefully u will not tell me when the baby is ready I am sooo uncomfortable. I also have Toxemia.?

i think that if the mucus plug comes out, you're labor should start in 24 to 48 hours.

Will castor oil work if your cerixcal length is 1.5cm and you are at 37 weeks?

No I have 5 kids and NEVER went into labor naturally, I tried castor oil several times and it did not work. If you are 2 cm already walking will work!! It might not work right away but do it everyday twice a day and it should get u going maybe slowly maybe faster but it will work!

I am 37 weeks 2 days pregnant 80 percent effaced a good 2 cm dilated my doctor says I'll have the baby in less than 10 days but how soon do you think it could be?

there is not really anyway to tell i was 100% effaced and 2 cm dilated for like 2 weeks... then funally she came a day before her due date but for 3 weeks my ob was saying she thought i was gonna be early lol so its just a waiting game now an for me it felt like forever but he or she will come soon anough good luck congrats,,, cortney

How far do you have to be dilated for the hospital to kept you?

I think 4

Can you put your contacts on after your eyes have been dilated?

i think you can

If you are not dilated or effaced at all and you drink castor oil can it just make you become dilated and effaced?

Supposedly it can be very bad for the baby. It will give you diarhea and as you know that causes a lot of pain, cramping, and pushing of the stomache muscles that MAY cause you to get sick enough to push enough to dilate, however they say the health risk is not worth it. Try red leaf tea, intercourse, and a bath.AnswerIf you're about ready, castor oil MIGHT help things along but it is more likely to just give you a very nasty case of the runs. It's quite normal to get impatient toward the end of a pregnancy, especially when it's uncomfortable and you can't sleep, stand, walk, sit, stand up after sitting, drive... yea. It's normal to want to get this over with. But the simple reality is, the kid will come when he/she is ready unless you can convince your doctor that he/she is ready.Another answer:Most any of the methods you can use to jumpstart labor (fresh pineapples, sex, long walks, nipple stimulation, castor oil) will only work if your body is ready- if the baby isn't ready there isn't much to do to make it come, but that's a good thing. Let that baby bake, miserable as it is for the mom. A medical induction (using pitocin) might be possible, but it significantly increases the odds of complications and makes contractions come hard and strong (and painful). Unless you are way overdue, it's best to let that baby bake.Castor oil has been associated (in my mind, wrongly) with the baby having meconium problems (when the baby has their first bowel movement in the womb and can accidentally swallow it); personally I think that that has far more to do with women going over term (and therefore more likely to have meconium) being more likely to want to get the baby out by such drastic means as drinking castor oil.It has been scientifically proven the castor oil doesn't pass to the baby... but the effects on the mom can range from nothing to severe diahrea/cramping/dehydration. That said, my sister used castor oil on 3 of her 4 pregnancies and it kickstarted labor in 2 of the 3.

What vitamins does castor oil have?

it has vitamin E and C in it i think

You are 38 weeks and im dilated 3cm and you got your membranes stripped but you didnt go in to labor and then 2 days later your mucus plug came out how long do you think i have to go before going in?

When your contractions are five minutes apart.
