A member asked:
Will having an orgasam induce my labor or break my water? i'm 22wks pregnant and would like to know if having an orgasm will break my water. and if so can i use this as a way to jump start labor when i'm full term?

That : That seems to be an area of controversy. Theoretically, if a woman who is full term has sexual intercourse and the man ejaculates (the man's ejaculate contains prostaglandins & prostaglandins can stimulate the cervix) this might lead to contractions. However, i don't know of proof that this actually induces labor. Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in china and there are acupuncture techniques for inducing labor.
