Does sex really help with labor?

Question

Like does it help when it comes to labor and all at all?

Answer

My husband and I had sex at 38 weeks 2 days with my son (now 3) in 2013. I was on top and he poke my cervix really hard at the end, I remember it hurting quit a bit at the time. He fell asleep afterwards and I got up to walk around a bit and that's when my contractions started. I remember not knowing what was going on at first, first baby and all. Long story short, we were in the ER 8 hours later and my son was born 8 hours after that! 🙄😆

Answer

Sperm helps!

Answer

Orgasms cause contractions. But it's more so if you let your partner "go" inside you. There's a chemical in their semen that will help soften your cervix.

Answer

The oxytocin release from sex& nipple stimulation. This is the natural version of pitocin, often used to induce labor medically.
