Answer

My dad induced his ex wife with sex lol 😬 one of those little factoids I could have lived my whole life without knowing but it did work for them lol

Answer

So I had sex this morning, walked a lot of stairs, ate a lot of pineapple, walked, did a lot of dancing and squats, ate a spicy dinner and drank a bit of castor oil with orange juice.  Contractions started at 10pm really strong, went to labor and delivery at 11:45pm and I'm still in labor with being 3 cm dialated.  Who knows what helped but it did.

Answer

Tried sex this morning , we'll see!

Answer

I tried nipple stimulation while bouncing on my couch. I think I got contractions? My whole middle, front and back, got super tight and painful. I had to take medicine and take a nice hot bath in order to sleep. I woke up with tightening again, front and back, but still pregnant so..

Answer
