How can kissing cause early labor?

Kissing cannot cause a woman to go into early labor. Even French kissing cannot force a woman into labor. Instead, changes in hormone levels begin several weeks before the first labor contractions. Many women experience Braxton-Hicks contractions, often called "false labor" for up to 2 to 3 weeks before real labor begins. During those last few weeks, the baby should turn head down, and begin to move toward the birth canal. That pressure helps to begin the dilation (opening) of the cervix so that many women are already 1-2 cm dilated when they arrive at the hospital. Sexual intercourse during the last couple weeks can in some cases start true labor; your doctor will advise you about whether you should have intercourse.

At 38 weeks pregnant and dialated 4 cm 75 percent and -1 how long should it b before giving birth?

Sorry, it is impossible to determine when the spontaneous onset of labor will occur. The norm is the span of time between 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the given due date. Every pregnancy is different, therefore one woman may go into labor with minimal evidence of cervical change while another woman might be very dilated and effaced for weeks before her labor begins. Pregnancy is our first lesson in patience as parents.


How do premature labor and false labor differ?

Vinegar will not induce labor. Please don't think about inducing pre-term labor. There's a reason why elective inductions before 38 weeks are such a controversy now. Contact your prenatal health care provider to discuss your concerns and the reasons that you want to go into labor preterm.


At how many weeks do you lose your mucus plug and how can you tell you lost it?

The amount of weeks depends. You will lose it when you go into, or shortly before you go into labor. You will only be able to tell if you've lost it, when you see it. Other than that, you cant really tell.
