And I will be sure to ask my OB how ripe my cervix is before she attempts any manipulation. The first thing that came to mind reading the above is that I wonder how many scientific studies have been done to "prove" the effectiveness of semen and intercourse to stimulate labor. And yet still women are told to go home and have good sex with their hubbies in order to start labor. Of course I could be dead wrong, perhaps there have been many studies done. Anyway, this is a natural method I intend to make use of; I'm assuming that down through the ages of human history semen hasn't been proven to be damaging to a woman or her baby... My small attempt at humor,
