Sex: in extra time, are you kidding?

Sex is one of the most common methods practised to induce natural labour. Sexual intercourse can help to stimulate oxytocin − the hormone that causes contractions. Your semen also contains prostaglandins that can help soften the cervix in preparation for dilation. While sex during pregnancy will not harm your baby, it’s best to refrain if your partner’s waters have already broken.
