    Sex does help start labour it did with my first 2 children and on my 3rd I would have much preferred sex to having being induced with a pessary! lol

    I had heartburn throughout 3 of my pregnacies and was told this was a sign of a baby with a great mop of hair.All three were born with loads of hair.My fourth baby I didnt have heartburn and was born as bald as a coot. lol

    When I was working, I always used to finish making the tea when someone else had started it. A lady I worked with told me that if I finished making a cup of tea that someone else had started making,I would end up with a ginger baby. What twoddle I thought, until my daughter was born with red hair. Both my husband and I have dark brown hair!!! Must have been the tea eh!!!!

    The sex and labour one is true to a degree, however its not the sex that starts labour there is something present in sperm that ripens the cervix, the same stuff is present in the pessary used to induce labour, however theres far more present in sperm, it worked for me and was advised by a midwife
