Sometimes they can lead to some cervical change (including dilation, softening of the cervix, etc.). This is why it's important to call your care provider if you are having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions before you reach "full term" (or 37 weeks).

On the other hand, even if your Braxton Hicks contractions are dilating your cervix, they might still be helping to rotate your baby into an optimal position for labor or even toning your uterus in preparation for labor. So even the contractions that aren't "real labor" are still doing something!

How do you do intercourse to result in a quick birth of your child?

Sexual intercourse or positioning will not speed up labor and delivery.

For two weeks, I couldn't scrub out the tub or run the vac without contractions starting.

Who are you killing if you killed your brothers aunts nephews uncles sisters fathers wifes great grandchilds father?

That would make you relatively crazy of course. Your brother's aunt is your aunt. Her nephew is you (if you are male), your brother, your first cousin, or someone not related to you because they descend from your aunt's husband. That nephew's uncle is either not related to you, is you father or your uncle. The uncle's sister is either not related to you or is your aunt. Her father is either not related to you or is your grandfather. His wife is either not related to you or is your grandmother (or stepgrandmother,etc.) Her greatgrand child is either not related to you, is your child, or is your neice or nephew. That child's father is either not related to you or is yourself (if you are male) or your husband (if you are female), or he is your first cousin. So, the person being killed is one of the following: * someone not related to you * your first cousin * your husband (if you are female) * yourself (if you are male)
