What is the difference between dialating and effacing, the dr. says I am dialated to a 1 but has never sd anything about effacement. What happens first? Do you have to be effaced before you dialate? Also does anyone know of natural ways to induce labor? I tried castrol oil and threw up, do enemas really work? Thanks!!

Dilation is when the cervix opens up. Effacement is when the cervix things. You need both in order to deliver successfully. S_x is the way to induce.

Everything I've read about dilating and effacing says that your cervix has to begin effacing before you can start to dilate.
