We’ve talked about the role of prostaglandins in getting your labor going naturally at home. I mentioned that sexual intercourse and nipple stimulation work to help your cervix ripen.
What else can you do to get your body into the labor groove once you notice that contractions are beginning?
You can help oxytocin release into your body and help your baby press evenly on your cervix.
