    I think natural induction methods only really work if your body's about ready to go anyway.
    What is your essay on exactly? Do you mean you have to pick one method and discuss that?

    When you have an induced labour through a hospital, they use prostaglandin gels to ripen your cervix for labour. Semen is made up of prostaglandins (prosta = prostate) so obviously leaving semen inside you after sex could have a similar effect. My step aunt is a midwife and this is something she told me years ago.

    Just something interesting to know:
    Apparently to actually induce labour you need 1 litre of semen... and it is more effective orally...
    Who want's to drink a litre of semen?!?!?!? Why would the MW say that! haha

    I so wont be suggesting this one!

    I did a MASSIVE grocery shop. By myself. Pushed it round, loaded into the car, carried it all up the stairs, put it all away. Seriously, I think the trolley was full. I had big ideas of cooking up a storm the next day to have stuff in the freezer... I went into labour at 1am the next morning. No cooking got done

    Yeah I read that too. Something about a oxytocin bring absorbed thru the gut quicker. We tried that too XD my babies just think I'm comfy!!
