sex can help by releasing a hormone called oxytocin, which causes the uterus to contract. Additionally, semen contains a substance known as prostaglandins, which will help soften the cervix.
worth a try

it didnt work on any of my last pregnancies. I think the theory is that there is some hormone in semen that helps start labour but in order to have enough of the hormone my mw told me hubby would need to "enjoy" himself over 100 times in a 24 hour period!!! If your partner can do this then you are extremely lucky!! LOL

Breast stimulation also releases oxytocin, which caused the uterus to contract....

Also....ladies.....don't neglect yourselves....get your orgasms on too.....this also contracts the uterus and helps with the labor process
