Question

Answer
Hello Nicki. Nothing will bring on labor unless your cervix is soft and ripe. That is best accomplished by lots of intercourse and nipple stimulation. Each evening as you relax to watch TV, gently twirl your nipples for a full minute, every five minutes for a couple of hours. All this will help to ripen your cervix. The practice contractions that you feel are also ripening your cervix. Now, don't get over anxious about getting this baby born- it will come when the time is right and the baby is mature. All the best- Cheri.
