Didn't work for me :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216376 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:52:22 +0000 PEAPIE 1216376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, prostaglandins in semen act to ripen the cervix. </p> <p>I'm not even close to my due date, but somehow I've heard and read that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216361 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:50:24 +0000 Arden 1216361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216349 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:48:33 +0000 Mrs. J 1216349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: a week!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216329 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:44:53 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1216329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard it's all a wives tale... but I would assume that an orgasm would stimulate the contractions. We tried.... it didn't work.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216237 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:30:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1216237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: eewwwwww!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216232 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:29:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1216232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: how many days past are you?

I could hardly breathe. It was really awkward too. Not fun at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216206 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:24:40 +0000 mrsjyw 1216206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>there was no way in hell that i was anywhere near O towards the end.. so if that's the one that works, we didn't test it.</p> <p>p.s. i don't think sex does anything for me/labor! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216203 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:23:38 +0000 Arden 1216203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some induction medications are made from extracts from pig and bull semen.</p> <p>So... tell DH to whip some up and turkey baster your cervix? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216201 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:23:03 +0000 Mrs. J 1216201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard both, but DH and I have DTD several times already, and this baby is going NOWHERE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216196 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:21:36 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1216196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. But there's more support for the female orgasm. ;) <a href="http://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth/natural-induction-methods#.UoUwuRZPnbY" rel="nofollow">http://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth/natural-induction-methods#.UoUwuRZPnbY</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216179 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:18:53 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1216179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, I was just about to post the same question! I'm only 24 weeks so certainly not trying to bring on labour, but orgasming hasn't been high on the priority list lately and I doubt it'll get any higher as I get bigger and more uncomfortable!! I'm hoping that the semen will do the trick when the time comes..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216173 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:16:13 +0000 MrsKoala 1216173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard it's both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-and-labor#post-1216158 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:12:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1216158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What part of sex is it that is said to jump start labor?</p> <p>I've read that:<br /> A) semen can help dilate the cervix<br /> B) your own personal orgasm can stimulate contractions </p> <p>So....which is it? Sex is no fun right now so I need to know which parts I can skip and still get the job done (i.e. get this baby out).... ;) ;) ;) </p>
