My doula told me that a sure fire way is to ....TMI......Drink seaman....icky...but she said it works???

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

I think you should just make plans you really want to keep...babies like coming when you have something on

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!!

Im going to touch on a lot of these, if not mentin them all....

I think I will research sex /the link to seaman as a natural induction and do the essay on 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
