My doctor encouraged sex because the semen is a natural cervix softener. If your water has not broken it should be ok.
I had contractions for four days, but it never turned into the real thing. After 20-30 min the contractions would always stop. When I went in labour it felt like my son was dancing in circles, the pain went from mild to worse and did not ever stop until I delivered. It was about 10 hours long.
If you are having any pain start timing it for an hour. If the contactions dont stop after an hour or are 5 min apart call your midwife.
I dont think you will last until Monday. Congratulations, you are going to be a Mommy very soon.
Yes it was okay. The only time it’s not okay is if you are supposed to have pelvic rest, you have a ruptured amniotic sack, or you’re in labor – otherwise go to it.
nobody can really give you a specific answer. the sex is fine and is actually encouraged because the semen will thin the cervix which will help it to dilate more. As long as your water hasn’t broken you can keep going at it. the worst thing it is going to do is do nothing and the best is that it may put you into labor with timeable contractions. I got the gel inserted the day before i was due to be induced and it kickstarted labor. ask if you can get the gel the night before you are induced. worked great for me. and if it doesn’t start labor then it will at least help your cervix dilate more for the following day
good luck!! it’s worth everything once you see your precious baby!
yes cum is very good for the cervix when i got opened up by the doctor i had sex on the night and i felt my cervix pulling next day i was in labour good look
