fran_23 said:dont worry melanie..i remember this happening to me, i was at 1-2 cms for a week and even when my contractions were at every 3 mins and i couldnt take the pain..went into hospital and i was still at 1-2 cms!!
they told me i wasnt relaxing enough on each contraction for it to dilate me..so heres my advice to you hun: take some parecetamol..have a nice warm bath...this will probably stop the contractions for a bit or ease them off..when they come back try..(and i know its hard..but try) not to tense up..breathe through it and try the swaying..walk around the room or whatever helps just dont clench you fists and tense up!!
once i did this i had my baby 4 1/2 hours later
good luck hun hope it helps you xx
Thats good to know Fran, il try and bear this in mind when the big day comes for me
