how do you know when is dilation ? Any tips of relieving contraction as well and also any method for sleeping position as i feel difficult to sleep in third trimester as i can feel some bones rubbing in me.

My gynae performs weekly vaginal check starting from weeks 37 of pregnancy. To relief braxton hicks, during each hardening you can change position or walking around and it will go after that. For the sleeping position, it is very normal as our tummy is getting heavier. You can get a pregnancy pillow and sleep on your left side.
