If Cervix unable to dilate after 20 over hours of labor what is the cause?

My cervix was unable to dilate after 9 hours of hard labor. I was induced and the doctors told me that they had the pitocin level as high as they could put it without rupturing my uterus. My doctor told me that I didn't dilate because I have a condition where my cervix is tightly knit together with something similar to scar tissue. I have never had any cervical trauma to induce this. My doctor told me that it is hereditary. I am adopted so do not know if my birth mother experienced this as well.

Does Walking on beach barefoot help go into labor?

Not sure what you mean by labor but... I can answer something else.

Also, in some beaches there is this type of fish that digs itself in the sand and if you step on it the animal will spike you and release some poison on you. In a rate from 1 to 10 the poison is like at 6 or 7, not sure. Still, enjoy the beach!
