FYI - You having an orgasm could help too. A woman's uterus contracts when she has an orgasm. So uh..you could..uh you know..Originally Posted by Avarice-ness
This is why I like you. xDYou could, uh, try poking around in there without your husband or any other man actually.
Actually, that would help but the male ejaculation actually helps more because the prostaglandin that makes up semen helps thin and soften the cervix. I don't need his sex! I need his love juice!
Needless to say I'm like 1cm dialated. The baby has dropped down far into the birth canal though so that's a good sign, and my nightly contractions are a good sign.
Since I'm not going to try Castor Oil (seriously, Ew) I'm going to try Raspberry Leaf tea and hope that will jog some stronger contractions and start dialting me. Here's to old wives tales! HOPEFULLY THEY WORK! I can just hope and whine.
Every time I walked for more than 15 minutes, like if at all the mall or something, I would have contractions. Of course, my children are stubborn, and they would stop a while later. But its worth a shot. Get a friend and go for a walk!
