Sex and labor

I’m 37 weeks also and just tried it yesterday. Was not fun 😂 but I did have a few contractions about it 2 hours after. I took a nap though and they went away :/

I’m 39 weeks and so ready to be done 😂

@Nina Klein Are you dilated or effaced any? That’s what I’m worried about is that it’s gonna hurt so bad. 🤣

@Lindsey oh girl, I bet you are!

39 weeks and I swear it’s the only thing that’s helped me progress. Coincidence? Possibly. I’m willing to do anything to get her out 😂

@Jacinda I haven’t really had any Braxton hicks or contractions or anything, I have a lot of pelvic pain from how baby is and I’ve been feeling nauseous which I hear is a sign but nothing has really happened yet

@Jaden what are you dilated and effaced too? I’ve been trying other things before having sex but I think that’s what I’m gonna have to do if I want this baby quick! 🤣

@Jacinda lol, yes! I was 1cm dilated and 50 percent effaced at 36 & 37 weeks. 38 weeks I was 1.5 and 60 percent effaced, then at my 39 week appointment I was 3cm dilated and 70 percent effaced. I have my 40 week appointment next week so we will see lol.

@Jaden looks like I need to get the show on the road then! Lol. I’m 37 weeks so maybe I can have her here before my induction date on the 28th! 🤣

I tired it at 39 weeks and it was the worst pain after.. I had contractions for about and hour after and i didn’t even go into labor

We literally had sex daily from 37 weeks to the day before my induction. Ended up still getting induced at 39 and 5 but it went really well and overall was a fairly quick induction.

@Jacinda I’m 1.5 cm dilated as of 36 weeks but wasn’t checked at my 37 week :/

Yes sex helped…(was not trying to self induce lol).My water broke like 3-4 hours after intercourse at 38.5weeks and from that point till delivery it was a total of 10 hours.
