well it all depends on how far dilated you are...and if you dilate quickly...every person is different...walking helps send you into labor...but if your water breaks try to walk as little as possible if the embilical cord falls out before the baby comes it can cause internal bleeding and harm the baby Answer If it is your first baby it is quite normal for the head to engage by 36 weeks and has no bearing on how soon you will go into labor. Walking does NOT help you go into labor, once you are in labor it may help speed things along but that is all. If the head is engaged the umbilical cord is not going to fall out but if the waters break you should go to the hospital as after 24 hours there is a danger of infection.

1 cm dilated 80 percent effaced -1?

This means your cervix is open 1 cm (you need to dilate to 10 cms to birth the baby). Your cervix is 80% effaced which means it is getting very thin -- you need to be 100% effaced. -1 refers to where baby is in relation to the coccyx (tailbone or "spines"). There are "stations" for baby's position. To give birth, you need to be 10cms dilated, 100% effaced and baby needs to be at at least +2 station.

Is it safe to use a vibrater when your 2 cm dilated?

You should not insert anything inside your vagina when your cervix is dilated. Stimulation of the clitoris is O.K., though! (And orgasm good for encouraging labor!) Enjoy!
