Our antennas are amplified external GPS antennas. Garmin's built in antennas are not amplified, and when tested side by side with Garmin's external antenna, ours significantly outperform the Garmin antenna, yielding an average of 28 dB signal gain compared to about 16 dB gain from Garmin's antenna.
Sexâ Sex as a means of getting labor started is thought to work in three ways: first, orgasm may help to stimulate the uterus into action. Secondly, sex can trigger the release of oxytocin, and third, semen contains a high concentration of prostaglandins which may help to ripen or soften the cervix.
Your midwife will write down the length of your labour in your birth notes. This will probably refer to how long it took for your cervix to open from about 4cm to 10cm (4in). At 10cm, you are fully dilated and are ready to start pushing your baby out.
