    No..  that sounds like something that your DH made up, or is confused about.. When I was having  really bad BH, I read to take a bath because it should help calm down the ctx..

    In reality.. i don't think any of that stuff really brings on labor.

    According to my doctor, the only things that bring on labor are sex (sperm softens the cervix), bouncing on a birthing ball (helps the baby drop), and walking (helps the baby drop).  But just because you walk or have sex doesn't put you at a higher risk of preterm labor.
