I think it's the big O which can start contractions but also sperm has the same stuff in it as the drug that they use to induce labour (I think it's called pitocin) but obviously not in so much quanity. But saying that, I wouldn't want to go into labour if I felt mucky! sorry was that too much info??
I've been in this position before and to be honest I don't think anything is going to "start" you off unless you had a crochet hook! Baby will come when baby wants!
Walking/marching when you are finally in labour really helps.
Best of luck to you

Pebbles hun, you beat me to it and saved me explaining. I also agree about feeling mucky and feel the same way about eating a hot curry. Not that I'd be mucky but I'd stink!!
Crochet hook eeek!
Thanks for the advise about walking/marching.
