Tension can be held anywhere in the body, often emotionally based. Can you relax enough to process fears & constraints?
Get help to create a protective, safe immediate environment for yourself. Gather a friend or three for support, be nurtured!
Lengthy pre-labor wears you down, doubts & anxiety can snowball. I've read a number of accounts of bleeding without dilation with no other issues (aside from slow progression).
You tried Evening Primrose Oil, Intimate Touch, Gentle Stretching, Deep Breathwork, Red Wine, Jovial Company, Homepathics, anything that you have a positive/comforting association with?
Fortify yourself with good mineral sources & Vit C, stay hydrated!
You feel alone in this mama?
Here's some other possible considerations:
The Cervix
The Cervical Center is the gateway to subtle, non-physical realms. It is the doorway to spiritual experiences. The “Songs of God” are said to reside here because when a materialistic human accesses this center through devoted prayer, deep concentration or a sudden reaction of extreme intensity the experience inspires awe. For the person who stumbles into this experience, it is called, “The Incomprehensible.”
Every thing and being that has measurable mass and is subject to the five stages of the cycle of creation. These stages include “birth,” “growth,” “application,” “maturity,” “rest.” This center manifests the stage of “rest” in the cycles of physical manifestation.
Traditional associated element: Ether
Ether is the substance that pervades the fabric of physical creation. It is the most subtle of measurable physical elements. The closest thing that today’s science has identified that is similar to the ancient classification of ether is the cosmic plasma that exists in the space between planets and other celestial bodies. Ether is the medium of light and sound. Ether allows the “miracle” of radio and television communication.
The fine qualities behind this energy center manifest through the little toes on each foot and the pinkies on each hand.
Associated sense: Hearing
Hearing is the positive subjective sense associated with the Cervical Center. The neutral manifestation is articulation or speech. The negative quality is the object of hearing or Sound.

You may need to step away from all your thoughts soon, surrender fully, and draw upon strength you've not needed previously.
There is no other way but through...
It stopped yesterday (Sunday) then started again early this morning- copious amounts- stopped for a couple of hours, and has started again. No other impending sign of labor. This is so unlike previous pregnancies, and I am stumped. I especially don't understand how I can be having bloody show but not dilating!!!
