Who here has been or is almost 40 weeks pregnant and at least 1cm dialated with no contractions whatsoever and has had sex and actually helped induce labor? Or did something else that actually helped... I really wanna try to avoid being induced and my due date is supposed to be Sept 6th and no signs of LO wanting to come out yet 😪🤣

Waters broke at 10 am following morning.

that’s what made my friend’s mucus plug release

Work for me

I had sex,spicy food walked ,stretch and sweep,....everything in book and all my kids were still l8

Sex worked for me but I was a week overdue so could have just been coincidence x

Spicy food and sex is how I went into labor 😂

Yes. Semen helps. You orgasm, that helps. Nipple play helps. So work in all of these.

🙋🏼♀️39+1, we had sex and immediately after I started having contractions

Yeah it really does lol. I had sex the night before and the next morning I was in labor. All happened so fast. Lol

Walking helps as well

Worked for me! I was in active labor an hour later!

Had sex everyday for the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy my daughter came at 41 weeks lol. Worth a try I think different things work for different people x

Sex definitely helped me progress! My cervix was very thin but not dilated at 40 weeks. We had sex on day 40+5 and I started to see bits of my mucus plug a few hours later. I started to have some lower back pain throughout the next day and contractions started later that night.

As every one its saying sex and nipple stimulation (some woman pump), walk a lot and dance as well.

It didn't work for me 😭 everyone else swears by it.

It hasn't worked for me either... im still preggo 😪😪😪

39 weeks, had great sex, couple hours later, contractions 😮💨
