DH saw the thread and insisted I weigh in. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473987 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 16:31:16 +0000 littlecasita1122 473987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We DTD after not doing it for a week and the next morning I went into labor so I'm a believer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473889 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 15:26:10 +0000 Minnie_Girl 473889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, DH and I had sex one night and I went into labor the next morning...so I'm a bit more of a believer on that one now. A combo of semen, orgasm, and nipple stimulation could be surprisingly effective! </p> <p>@Mrs. Blue: Believe it or not, it is possible. Aaaaand now I've totally overshared on the internets... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473855 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 14:45:50 +0000 Mrs. Blue 473855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The lady who taught our childbirthing class told us that it really can help because the semen does something similar to (some drug) that helps thin the cervix and cause dialation or something like that and an orgasm releases oxtocin (similar reaction to pitocin). All I could think was, "Seriously, can any woman have an orgasm at 9 months pregnant?!?!" It seems like the general uncomfortableness would seriously inhibit feeling frisky in the first place, much less attaining the big O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473835 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 14:23:07 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 473835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried but it didn't do anything. It was worth a shot. I think it's the orgasm that is supposed to start contractions. Ehhhh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473820 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 14:09:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 473820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had sex every single day (kid you not) at the bitter end. It didnt do a thing and I had to be induced.</p> <p>And I don't think it's the sex itself that is supposed to help...it's the semen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473784 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:44:24 +0000 Bao 473784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried it but I don't know if it worked or not. Could have been coincidental. I do know I walked walked walked, and bounced on my yoga ball and I really think that helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473748 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 12:59:38 +0000 mrskc 473748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We DTD and I went into labor the next day. Probably just a coincidence tho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473727 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 12:43:34 +0000 heffalump 473727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>God no. I wanted nothing to do with that by the end of pregnancy. As uncomfortable as I was.... Not worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473716 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 12:37:28 +0000 MamaBehr 473716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was awkward and horrible, but yes we did try that. DH still won't let me live it down hahahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473680 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 12:19:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 473680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried, but it didn't help (and was massively uncomfortable). Well, I lost part of my mucus plug during (hello TMI!) but I had had a cervical check earlier that day so I don't think it was related to the sex. </p> <p>I think what kick-started my labor was actually trying out my double electric breast pump, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473675 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 12:17:34 +0000 loveisstrange 473675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's actually not really substantiated whether it helps or not. Have you tried Evening Primrose Oil? I feel like it helped me.</p> <p>I went bowling, haha, that's what finally got the party started for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473587 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 11:13:10 +0000 eeh 473587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tried. Neither of us could get into it and it didn't do anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473580 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 11:10:28 +0000 pl0508 473580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: poor DH. I haven't been into it at all during pregnancy ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473575 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 11:07:01 +0000 immabeetoo 473575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. Still went two days past dd but figure it didn't hurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473566 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 10:57:03 +0000 DillonLion 473566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't do anything for me. But neither of us were into it at all lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-to-jump-start-labor#post-473564 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 10:55:17 +0000 pl0508 473564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you start having sex more frequently to get labor started ?? At 37 was I told DH we may need to do the deed a good bit more these next few week - haha ! I'm so ready to be done and baby to be here !! </p>
