I assure you I`m not `misinformed`. The prosts in sperm can be made better use of if they are absorbed through the gut than through the cervix itself but I didn`t intend to suggest it would defintely get labour going either. All the best!

I am pretty sure that it is the seaman and such that causes your cervix to ripen. I think they say evening primrose helps with it too.

Its the sperm the prostoglandins sp? Ripin the cervix...all though orgasm or any rhythmic activity can trigger contractions. I used to work in L&D and saw everything. One lady was constantly riding on her riding lawn mower..lol

UKMama- i bet that your husband was the one who told you swallowing would work!

You left out a voting option: a wonderful mix!! A french doctor theorizes that, in addition to the prostoglandins in semen (as your other comments have eluded to) that the actual orgasm, and resulting contraction, aide in a successful delivery. The orgasm triggers a pretty intense contraction due to flooding your body with hormones. And the more you flood your body with oxytocin (feel good luvin hormone) the more receptors on your uterus! So, when you do go into labor, it`ll be for reals and not the kind to waver... well, the doc`s theory says. I had one friend who recommended, and I QUOTE: `Sex at night, vibrator in the morning.` Her 2 labors, COMBINED, were about 8 hours. Good luck, and more importantly: GOOD FUN!!

ahahaha... someone said to swollow it! that is def not how it works! if you read on it... the sperm softens the cervex, causing you to possibly go into labor. it acts like pitocin... that is what they give you to contract at the time of labor. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn`t! believe me i tried! and i had my baby on her due date!

UKMama, you are very misinformed and I think it`s really cute. hahaha... Swallowing semin will not help induce labor at all. The semin has to reach the cervix: The way that sex helps to induce labor is actually twofold. When a male ejaculates, the semen contains hormones called Prostoglandins which help to soften and ripen the cervix which helps get labor started. Additionally, when a woman has an orgasm, Oxytocin is released which starts contractions as stated before.

For the sperm to have the best effect it needs to be swallowed (Ugh!). But to maximise the benefits of the `prosts` in sperm vaginally, have deep sex and try for an orgasm. The orgasm flexes the cervix and makes it `dip` in and out a little of the sperm `pool` immediately. Also, having your hips raised can help keep the sperm sitting on your cervix and/or keeping your hubby inside you for a while. Every little helps!

i think my doc said the sperm is what does it..it softens the cervix and the horomone in the sperm or what is released when you have sex can bring on contractions or something like that??
