Exercise help dilate

Ive been doing long walks, some stairs, eating dates and doing some squats since 38 weeks but during my 38 + 4 appointment im still not dilated. Which i was disappointed i thought i couldve atleast dilated 1cm. And gynae even told me theres no scientific proof that all these will help labor. Should i just stop or continue ? #FTM

Same here 38w+ you're not alone.. not dilated after trying everything too. looks like our baby wants to keep baking :/ guess they get to choose the date they want. Can't wait for obvious labour signs!

just continue. but don't go too hard on yourself. your baby will know when to come out. don't rush things. hopefully your progression during labour is fast.
