Well, I believe it does work, as long as your near your due date! I used this method along with others and I think the combo really helped move things along!!!!! Definately worth the try as long as your pregnancy is progressing without complications and your within a week of your due date---don't want babe coming too early now!!!

You say it did work for you, but how long did it take? Was it the first time you tried it, or was it over a matter of days? Also, did you use your breast pump, or your hubby? I will be 37 weeks on thursday and was thinking of trying this at 39.

I watched one of those delivery programs on the learning channel and I do recall one of the midwives mentioning that nipple stimulation helps bring on labor. She had one of her patients practicing this (with the patient's husband's help) So yes, I guess it can work =)

I did it in the shower at about 37 weeks. They say to only do it for 3 hours a day on and off for 15 mins and not to do it when your having a contraction. I swear it worked for me!! at my 38 week check up I was 3 cm 50% effaced. Also I did the sex thing and orgasm with walking. All those wives tales....I swear it was the membranes being stripped that put me over the edge into active labor but I think all those things helped in the long run
