IF YOU ARE POSTING TO ASK IF YOU SHOULD USE EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION:
Please do not wait on us if you may need or want EC (like the morning-after pill). Because it is most effective the sooner it is taken or administered, we suggest that you go ahead and get it, and if you want to talk to someone about whether or not you choose to use it, we can do that with you after. That way, you have it ASAP if you do decide you want or need to use it. <3

Sex During Pregnancy?
I heard that having sex prior to birth can help labour start. Is this true? If so, when would be a good time to have sex with my partner? Apparently, 'substances in semen called prostaglandins help soften the woman's cervix and hormones released by nipple stimulation encourage the womb to contract'.

Re: Sex During Pregnancy?
Hi GS_6,
So, while those hormones are present, there hasn't been enough research that really bears out the idea that sex can help induce labor. In fact, what findings there are are either inconclusive or suggest that sex does not help induce labor.
