A method for prophylactic priming or curative treatment of the cervix and the myometrium for establishing effective labor in a pregnant woman comprises administering to a pregnant woman an effective amount of a depolymerized low molecular weight heparin as described to prophylactically prime or curatively treat the cervix and myometrium and for establishing effective labor in the pregnant woman.
