Will having sex cause labor to start?

Sexual Intercourse

Semen contains prostagladins which help to efface and dilate the cervix. Please note that the cervix will not dilate unless labor is imminent, therefore having sex during pregnancy poses no danger of preterm labor unless your healthcare provider tells you to abstain.
