Im almost 37 weeks and seriously ready for my little on to come but Im letting nature take its course and let the little one come when hes well and ready but Ive read on some of the other posts about ways to get labor going early. I want to know what exactly Nipple Stimulation is. I know its kind of a foreplay kind of thing but is there a special technique that helps it..Im clueless right now.. or maybe its just the preggo brain going into effect. lol

Nipple stimulation produces natural oxytocin in the body, which in turn can produce uterine contractions. It is important not to exceed 15 minutes of nipple stimulation in a one hour period of time. The contractions can become too intense and irratic. The best way to stimulate is with either a manual or electric breast pump. Make sure to freeze any colostrum you produce. It is not recommended to have your hubby stimutate becase the focus has to be stricktly on the nipple itself, and with the breast pump you can control the intensity. These are the instructions I recieved from my OB. Congratulations in advance.

I don't know about that, but my dr.'s nurse told me that semen effaces you. Most effective position being doggy-style.
