TMI: can orgasms help dilate cervix?

[Sam9kids]

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

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

The cheek!!!!!!!!

Erm there isn't a delicate way of saying this

Don't go too mad with the orgasms too close to the birth. When I was being examined some of the MW's have a technique where they seem to be stabbing you in the clitoris, which hurts quite enough without any extra sensitivity!

I have been 1-1 1/2 cm dilated for 2-3 weeks now and nothing has moved me along, not orgasms or farm work or heavy lifting. I am 38+2. the doctor said I could have her anytime after 37 weeks and it would be just fine but clearly, they don't come out until they feel like it. I have even undergone a lot of stress and nothing!

Totally agree with prairie.

I was 3-4cm over a week ago and told I would almost certainly have bubs before my due date. I have tried absolutely everything and have been having regular BH contractions for 3 weeks. Here I am at 41 weeks exactly about to go in for my 2nd sweep because baby is just too comfy!

Try all you like but trust me, nothing will shift your baby before its ready
