Does dilation happen when cervix becomes zero ?  <response>: Hello, Have fully trusted in your treating doctor. He has suggested right treatment for you. Please, do continue with the treatment. Secondly, I will suggest you to take bed rest in head low position. Please use blocks or bricks beneath the bed towards your leg end. This will help to create gentle slope and resting in this position will help to reduce pressure on the cervix. You can seek prescription support from your treating Gynecologist by judging your clinical status. One of the following medications to relax the uterus can be taken:1.
