Can having intercourse induce labor?

Intercourse To Induce Labor

Having intercourse can be a method of natural labor induction. Semen contains prostaglandins which help to efface (thin out) and dilate the cervix. Orgasm causes the uterus to contract. It's not a given that intercourse will bring on labor - but for women who are ready anyway - it very well could do the trick.
