Sex sent me into labor
I’m 32 1/2 weeks pregnant. At 5:30 this morning we had sex and at 6 the contractions started. I’m now hospitalized and going through it getting steroid injections to speed up baby’s lung development and medicine to stop the labor. Has this happened to anyone? We were really gentle and safe. 😭 I feel like a terrible person and just want to go home.

This happened to me with my first pregnancy at about 27 weeks I got the steroids and my son came at 37 weeks.
Don’t feel bad. There’s something in the males sperm that makes you go into labor. Maybe wait a little till you are closer to your due date? It has nothing to do with how gentle you are.
This actually works??? Safe to say that I'll be scheduling sex into any future pregnancy's to bring labour on. This seems like a much less invasive proceedure than the sweep.
P.s. You're not a terrible person & baby will be fine x
That’s how my first baby was born at 36 weeks, hopefully everything goes good, your not a horrible person though it happens!
Hi ladies! Thanks for all of your kind words 💕💕 they were able to stop labor and I got to go home today! Fingers crossed we can keep her in a little longer. They did steroid injections for her lungs, just in case. I’m already high risk with preeclampsia so it’s a little scary!
Yes we was put on a sex ban for our doctor! Was sooo embarrassing aha! Happens with my 1st child she ended up 3 weeks early via c-section inaway but I had the injections etc to stop her coming as early! X
