Yes the "happy ending" is a very important part of helping get things started. :)

And make sure you "enjoy" it too!! That helps the uterus contract and your brain releases the happy hormone oxytocin which also helps to kick off labour...

yep it does, you need to keep it in there, so at night just go to sleep and shower in the morning :)
