Pitocin, the stuff they give during inductions, is a synthetic hormone designed to mimic oxytocin, the hormone that your body releases when you have an orgasm (or to a lesser extent when you're crushing on someone and get butterflies in your stomach when you talk to them, or when you're turned on). Oxytocin from having sex can definitely help to jumpstart labor if your body is ready for it - but if it's not, then sex can just be an excellent way to get your mind off the waiting, at least for a little while.
I'm only dilated 1 I was hoping if I had sex it would help. Lol I been walking around my apartment all day
Sex sent me into labor at 33 weeks! Im not allowed to have it anymore til 37 weeks. It works on some women but not all. It never did anything for my mom but as soon as I was done having it I had contractions every 2-5 mins!
I wanna try but at the same time scares lol
I was only 1/2 cm dilated at my last appointment.. I had sex around 7pm.. so far nothing..I'm 38+5
Sex helped me. With my second baby I had rough sex (38wks) & that night my water broke 3cm dilated. With my first, my water didn't break but sexhelped me dilate.
Im a ftm also and im 38 weeks and i was wondering is just the sex that helps or if the guy cums in you? I have heard different things from everyone.
I'm so tires of being pregnant. I feel like he's never gonna come out. I been walking all day! & I'm not sure but prop both
@nikki_fair you both have to orgasim.
