Is it really true that Semen helps soften the cervix?

yes

semen works wonders lol

yes ma'am send me to labor and delivery a lot with my first

*sent

Oh wow. I thought it was an old wives tale

yup ...

Yeah I started labor literally 15 minutes after "messing around" with my husband. the contractions started and got worse slowly and I had my son the next day 😨😨😨 two weeks early

Whattttt@akelly16 ?! Wow!

Yes my dr even confirmed it but it's not working for me 😩

@dymond yeah it was my first... I literally stood up (off the floor don't ask lol) and told my husband I felt really uncomfortable and my back was hurting really bad and my stomach felt sore so we had dinner and the rest of the night my lower back was aching and contractions started light and gradually got worse. my dr. didn't believe me and thought I was constipated lol but I went to the hospital the next morning and was dilated to 4 at like 10 am and had him by 6 pm... sooo crazy

Good gracious! @akelly16

The floor tho lol

Yeah I was sooo huge it made more sense then..lol I don't know why now that I look back on it lmao

also now that I think about it I told my dr. at my appt. Monday that I was having contractions like everyday that were pretty painful and he said to stop having intercourse because the semen was causing the contractions..even tho my cervix isn't changing he said it would cause uncomfortable contractions as well.. I told him it wasn't an everyday thing between my husband and I and he said it didn't matter bcuz that stuff stays "up in there" for 3 to 5 days and can cause contractions days later...sorry for my long posts

yes it is true
