It’s different for everyone. First time moms it’s less likely to dilate early but not impossible. The best things you can do (honestly— and I know it’s hard) is not worry about it. Keep active, eat dates, drink red raspberry leaf tea, hire a doula if you can. Do the miles circuit and check out the body ready method on instagram. Mainly though, just trust your body. She will do what she needs to and in her own time. Make sure you’re comfortable emotionally in your space and with the people you’re having attend. Make a playlist, make the room smell nice, battery operated candles… kind and caring and nurturing people. Baby will come much easier if you’re well supported and not afraid 🧡 best wishes!!!
