I had sex (on top) the other night with nipple simulation. Afterwards, I had a lot of contractions. AT my doctor's appointment yesterday I was dilated to one.

You want your body to release oxytocin, which is a happy hormone. Really get into sex and just try and relax.

Worrying/ rushing will not help.
