TMI: can orgasms help dilate cervix?

[charli89]

I am 1cm dilated and favourable, does having orgasms help the cervix to dilate? Been having contractions and nothing is happening with cervix and would like to help it along. x

 

[DueMarch2nd]

Hun, contractions are meant to do that as well. Yes i hear orgasms can help but why rush it? You have plenty of time left. Are you sure your contractions are the real thing?

 

[Karlielkc]

oo i didnt knwo you could be 1cm without being in labour..forgive me for being dim ive read numerous books, but not everything has sace in brain to be stored lol. Surely orgasms would help though as it encourages internal movements x

I hope not or sex is out im soooooooooooooo not ready to have this little one yet ive not even got my pram etc

 

[kristen77]

I think orgasms are meant to lead to contractions of the uterus. But if I was 1cm dilated I wouldn't be having any (orgasms that is!) until I was full term! Nearly there though!

haha none of he "eviction" techniques work unless your body is ready

 

[mummydee]

having orgasms gives me horrendously painful braxton hicks so it wouldnt surprise me if it helped!

I agree with DueMarch2nd. You're only 36 weeks. Obviously if you want to have sex, have sex, but it only helps if your body is 100% ready anyway. I wouldn't want to be helping labour along until I was at least full term (37 weeks).

Well with my first about 20 minutes after having an orgasm I felt my first labour contraction so I'm 100% convinced they work when your body is ready! But bare in mind this didn't happen for me until I was 39 weeks, so like I said I think your body needs to really be ready for it to happen although I didn't have any prior signs at the time that I was until it actually happened.

I agree, i started in labour 10 mins after sex with baby number 3

An hour after sex with number 4

an hour and a half after sex with number 5

An hour after sex with number 6

2 hours after sex with number 8

Wow my hubby has super sperm lolol

But like the others say, dont rush it

 

[lynnikins]

well i was 1-2cm dilated for the last 3 1/2wks with ds and no amount of orgasms or sex helped me get any further

 

[lanaross]

I agree, I've been 1cm dilated for weeks and orgasms don't do anything for me (aside from making me happy lol)

Hun, if you're having sex 4 times a day, that ^ ^ is not much of an indication!!

The orgasms its self doesnt make you go into labor, theories are that sperm helps labor. orgasms just gives you 1 contraction and thats it, you need dozens of contractions to make your cervix dilate.

 

[poppy666]

Well im buggered then for the multi orgasm to get things started with my OH

 

[Shinning_Star]

Baby will only some when body will let it and yeah don't rush. Give baby as muchtime as possible!

I used to have contractions for what started out as five minutes afterwards and got to about half and hour after orgasms, and then finally at 37+6 had a big orgasm and my waters broke! However I didn't go into labour myself, so still had to be put on the drip.I think it's only a temporary thing.
