TMI Question..masturbation to start labor instead of DTD?

[HappiestMom]

Hubby is afraid to do me lol..thinks he'll end up traumatized if god forbid my water breaks of mucus plug comes out on him

so wondering if anyone has tried or though of masturbation instead of DTD..wouldnt it be the same as far as orgasm and getting your cervix dilating and possible causing contractions?

Its the spermies that can start labour off so he needs to do you

Or nipple stimulation.

Ok first.... .... your husband is funny.
Second... if DTD were actually super-effective, then no, masturbation wouldn't be as effective because although the contracting of muscles from orgasm is helpful, it's really supposedly the semen that kick-starts things...

However... very, very few people have actually found that it does a whole lot of good. I read that you'd need aLOT of semen over and over to actually be the cause of labor, otherwise it's mostly 'having fun while waiting'.... in which case, masturbation could do the same job!

Orgasam can also start contractions i would imagine, they can certainly start BH, lol!

 

[Kimmi82]

My hubby has the same fear of ending up with a mucus hat!

It isn't the orgasm but acutally the sperm that helps to get labor started.

Oh and i did read somewhere, I am not joking, that ingesting sperm is just as if not more effective. Not sure that should be common knowledge among the menfolk though, lol.

I have to disagree with all of the ladies here. I think it is the combination of the prostaglandin(hormone that makes vaginal muscles contract from semen) and the contractions from being excited and from having an orgasm.

I had my baby number one from having nookie-but it was 45 min of increased excitement.
You could do this and I am sure you would induce that lil one.
They also say one hour of nipple stimulation(do you have a pump?)

 

[HappiestMom]

lol..well hmpff..not sure I would even be up for DTD anyway..oh well...

yeah I have a pump...maybe I'll try that tonight...figure it cant hurt..Im not leaking so shouldnt do any harm and wont be wasting anything..

Can't decide whether your being serious or not? If you are then consider me gross

Both DTD snd orgasm are suppose to help. The prostaglandins in the sperm are what is used as a pessary to induce labour and the hormone oxytocin which is released during an orgasm is the hormone they put in the drip during the induction process. If you also 'sweep' your finger across your cervix that will help! You can try it and let us know if it works!

They say acupoints and massaging of feet can induce you too. Look up the acupoints to induce labor on google. Get hubby to rub your feet I had my baby the next day after a pedicure(I had her rub really good around ankles-thats where uterus area is) and combined w/nookie...brought my lil girl!
Gonna do the same this round

Good luck, have fun.

Put cream on your nipples so they don't get sore from all of that. If you don't want to use the pump that long, you can get hubby to also play w/ them(sucking pulling and all that) Just tell him you want "forplay" instead so he's "game"

I think orgasm actually has a bigger chance of starting labor than sperm on the cervix due to the release of oxytocin - pitocin is merely synthetic oxytocin.

 

[JackiePed]

Eeek.. if you're gonna 'sweep your finger across your cervix'...do NOT do it without a sterile glove on! The last thing you want is an infection from a fingernail scratch, etc... *shudder*

As mentioned, the prostoglandins in the semen help to ripen the cervix, but the orgasm helps to bring on contractions through the release of oxytocin, so you would get some benefit but not the full benefit of DTD. I will say that for me both orgasm and nipple stimulation do in fact bring on contractions, but I've haven't yet had them actually turn into labor.

Im about to go walking for a bit at our gym..hoping that will maybe help her get down further
