Just wondering how long does sperm need to stay in u to help with softening/dialating the cervix? Or what do u Recommend for helping self inducing (nothing drastic like Castor Oil, just natural stuff) Ive been told by my Dr that Im ok to start the process and I dont want to be induced as if my LO isnt born in next week I`ll have to be induced due to size. So no lectures plz (Pregnancy poll by bethk, 849 days ago)

bethk (848.9 days ago) Thanks Girlies! Will try all hehe! bee2ee and hotpotaaaato! Uve made me laugh hehe
sweetbabyboy (848.9 days ago) Dh and I had sex at 10pm I just left the sperm in me and went to sleep by 1.30am my mucous plug fell out and 2 am the contractions started!! I don`t know if it really worked or if it was just coincidence but hey its worth a shot!! also my hubby likes telling people that he put me into labor lol!!!
hotpotaaaaato (849 days ago) oh yes, you can also google labor inducing accupressure points and try that out, or pay for accupuncture
hotpotaaaaato (849.1 days ago) bee2bee-so funny!
Sperm does help with the softening, but what`s even better is sperm + orgasm, as that could jump start contractions. You could get some evening primrose oil gel tabs and insert vaginally (they`ll disolve) and also help with the softening. Get a heating pad or bag of HOT water and put it on your breasts. Nipple stimulation. (Night before I went into labor I sat on the couch with a bag of hot water on 1 breast and do nipple stimulation on the other, then switch) ummmmmmmmm, what else....this may sound totally stupid but I tried EVERYTHING @ 3 days overdue and went into labor that night so I don`t know if it was coincidence or not. Curb walking- find a curb and put 1 foot on top and 1 in the gutter... walk down the street like that and then turn around and switch feet. Looks and feels totally stupid, but hey, what can it hurt? LOL! Good luck hun!
