Go for it!!!!! I think it is more effective if you have already lost your plug, but just the act can help relieve stress etc, so all worth it no matter if bubs shifts or not!
I didnt have sex but the day before i went into labour the midwife did a vaginal sweep and bout 12 hours later i went into labour. about 19 hours after the sweep my son was in my arms.
ok this is gonna sound rather weird but if you decide to have sex, make sure you leave your legs elevated for at least 30 min to allow your hubbys sperm to swim up the channel so to speak. I know, being hugely preggers and leaving your legs elevated is easier said than done! its worth a try!
It didnt work for me but it has worked for other people i know!
i got jiggy all throughout my pregnancy *blush* and would you believe it, the one night we didnt i was in labour the next morning ahhaha.. maybe just coincidence??
hi, interesting question, through out my pregnancy had sex and didnt help with bring on labour, i was actually over due. the thing i did try was eating fresh pineapple hrs later i was in labour. mind you i ate a heap of it, and i was over due so could have just been coming anyway. good luck.
Haven't a clue but after reading your question just had to answer you.Can't believe you have the energy or the inclination at 38 weeks. When I was pregnant (i had twins at 34 weeks) all I wanted to do was sleep.
lol... Im 39 weeks and havnt had sex since the first trimester, ive been turned off it since then and since 30weeks just way too tired and sore. Now being a few days shy of 40weeks i think i mite have to build some energy to lay there and let it happen hahahaha, i want my baby out and i think smashie does too..
It seems like you've been pregnant forever never mind 39 weeks!!.My friend gave birth to a boy yesterday morning and has a 19 month old,4 year old and 11 year old.She got caught 7 weeks after her last one.Even she said the other day that even elephants are only pregnant for 22 months!!!
Hurry up and get him to come out-need to see cute baby pics...maybe you should jiggy jiggy as well,love Lisa x
Congrats to your friend!! Seems like evryone is giving birth except me :( I am happy for everyone and there new additions but at the same time abit upset my turn wont come around soon enough :(
I was gonna "jiggy jiggy" tonight but i didnt, i shud have cos i bet it will work for me!! See what happens tomorrow hahahaha...
I am not a huge help as I had sex every day and night while preggy. (my sex drive 10 folded)
but from the ppl i have spoken to that didnt regularly have sex, it was a few hours to a few days. it really depends on the sperm and the enzime content.
I spoke to my midwife about this today and she said it only works if your body and baby are actually ready. She said some people have sex all the way through their pregnancies and still go over 40weeks. So if your already dialting it should work and could take a couple of times. Some people go into labour the same day and some people it doesnt help at all.. Also, sometimes if you havnt had sex during the 3rd trimester it can just cause cramping and mild contractions and not put you into labour, thats what happened to a family friend of mine.
If your going to try, just make sure your bags are packed and your ready to go.
well i wasnt trying to do it lol it just happened i dont thin im dilated but the night before we "did it" i was having braxs and in alot of pain and after we did it i had the sorest bac and now im "crampy" and bubs isnt moving too mch any more.
any ways how is ashton coming along? have you read my blog from yesterday?
No sorry i havnt. i will in a sec tho then i better go to bed, im not feeling too good :(
Im on minti for maybe 10mins a day and thats it..
Yeah thats what happened to my friend, labour didnt start but it made her crampy. You being only 38weeks maybe wait another week and try again or keep trying, either way the c** should help ripen the cervix. My friend tried again at 39.5weeks and the sex did put her into labour. I was gonna try tonight hahaha, but im not now, it should work for me cos im dialating but im too sore right now, this back ache is a killer!!
