Ok im not sure if this is true or not but i have heard from a few ladys that by continuing to have sex throught you pregnancy makes delevery easier. Well if anyone has any input let me know.

actually i heard from the experienced and read from the professionals it can help you GO INTO labor. as for delivery, i'd think breathing techniques and kegal exercises would help a great deal.

I've never heard of it making delivery any easier. I've heard that it can help in going into labor, but it never helped me any.

What I understand is that if you have sex after the baby has dropped you can bring on labor. Apparantly there is some sort of hormone in sperm which can induce labor . As well, having orgasms can bring on contractions. As far as I know there is no benifit to having sex prior to the baby dropping except that it's always nice to do so.

It can be nice if you do kegal exercises while having sex. He'll love it and you'll strengthen your muscles. :)

during labor... no. i went in to the doc the day before i had my son and my midwife told me to have sex because i was over due and i was starting to have contractions. it softens the cervix and can actually speed up the process. orgasms are also good to help with getting labor going.
