can masturbation encourage labour along?

incognito bc i’m embarrassed to ask this 😭

i’ve been in early labour for over a week now and i’m overdue, my due date was a week ago. i’ve had two sweeps, a third booked for tmrrw but things are still moving along slowly. it’s been frustrating but it seems my cervix is still not dilated enough. i’ve been following all advice to encourage labour to move along faster but one - sex.

i’m single and i don’t feel right meeting someone and having sex while pregnant with another man’s child. my child’s father is horrible and i refuse to go back there too. but tbh i can’t see myself having sex for a looooong time anyway, even postpartum.

so i figured, since i’m not having sex, what’s second to it? masturbation, right? but no one’s said anything to me about masturbating and google gives me 101 diff answers… figured i’d just ask on here if anyone knows.

can masturbating to orgasm encourage labour along or is it just sex that can do that?

thank you! 😅

who here scoops the 🩸 out when they’re on their period???

was having a conversation with my friend (we’re both on our periods rn) and she’s a “scooper” which is when apparently some women when they start their periods go up in themselves and scoop all the uterine lining out so their period is only like 2-3 days long. I AM NOT A SCOOPER i never heard of it before this but it makes me curious to try and wondering if anyone else does and likes it or what 😆❤️

Friends?!?

So I've been on this app for a hot minute. I've talked to alot. Connected with even fewer. I am a full on mom. I have makeup..but do it sparingly. I let my hair do it's own thing most of the time. Putting pants on that don't stretch is a chore I don't need in my life. Fashion is ok but I choose comfort. I choose coffee and herbal teas over most alcohol these days. I do love a good glass of red wine thought. Hehe. I love dark humor. I laugh when I'm not supposed too. I am awkward and think my jokes are funny when they are not. I also have anxiety that I contestantly fight. I cuss like a sailor and I'm NOT an esthetic mom or perfect. I make mistakes daily. I also read alot including, but not limited to, dark romance and I have long before booktok became a thing. If I sound like your cup of tea with most of my flaws out on the open, message me. Peace love and health to yall.

Sexually active

Is anyone still sexually active? I’m petrified of climaxing incase it gives me cramps and then I spiral so I’ve pretty much avoided it the whole way through. If I knew I was going to be ok I probably would but I know I’ll over think it all. But interested to know how everyone else is feeling!

Friends ??

I’m 20 so maybe 19-24? Sahm to a babyboy 3m ! Just looking for a mom frienddd if interested leave a comment or text me

how do you make friends x

LMAO like i’m ngl i’ve never had any friends .. idek how to make a friend
how do i know if i’ll even like them
how do iknow if they’re fake or loyal or trustworthy
how do iknow if we share the same interests
it’s kind of like dating where u kind of see if that person fits and if they don’t you start again
how nice would it be to have that one friend especially made on here that you can talk to about anything and open up to i wish i had friends sometimes to talk to outside of family to do things with but it’s hard to make friends
or is it just me overthinking i do tend to do that..
i’d love to know what you guys think lol
