Should I masturbate to go into labor?

Question

I’m 39 weeks today 
Had a NST and pelvic exam yesterday showing that me and the baby are healthy and on track.
2cm dilated, 70% effaced and my OB gave me a membrane sweep to speed things along since I’m suffering from painful back aches.
Should I masturbate and have an orgasm to speed things along? I’m not in the mood for sex with my husband or anything involving penetration because the pressure down there is heavy. 
Thoughts? Experiences?

Answer

The reason why they say sex works, is that the semen can soften the cervix.

Answer

Masturbating releases the chemical oxycotcin (the same chemical the body releases during nipple stimulation) which causes the uterus to contract. Although semen is very helpful masturbating can be just as helpful combined with nipple stimulation:)
Good luck mamas

Answer

Like they said it’s the guys semen that gets things going but if you don’t want to do that start walking.

Answer

Might as well 🤷🏼‍♀️ enjoy!

Answer

It’s the sperm that starts labour not the orgasm, though it does make you contract they don’t do anything to cervix from what I understand

Answer

Should give you a good boost of oxytocin, which is the hormone that's involved in contractions, so why not 😎
