So my dr said the only thing that really helps us go into labor is the natural prostaglandins found in semen that helps the cervix soften.. He said pineapple, walking, squats, nothing else will soften the cervix.. I think walking, squats helps with pushing baby out but that's about it.. So he's like have sex, sex!! 😂
@squishy3, Yeah if the baby is already super low it makes sense that the doctor would say that methods that just lower the baby won't do anything for you. Have you tried pumping/nipple stimulation? That can bring on labor.
It kind of depends on what you're talking about. Walking and squats don't soften the cervix directly, but they can lower the baby into the birth canal, which can prompt your body to move on with the process of softening. But as for things that directly affect the cervix, yeah sex is the way to go.
they say that doesn't mean it's true drs aren't the smartest people they really on a computer to diagnose us 90 percent of the time. I went to er and they typed my symptoms in then gave me a print out saying I have asthma hmmm ok I've known that since I was 4 tell me something I don't know
