We've all heard about theories to bring on labour, including having sex. And I've read posts from women on here saying that they tried sex, and it didn't do anything. I am curious though, if it makes a difference if you have sex regularly throughout the third trimester, when many women don't feel like it at all. (understandably!) So here are my questions:
Did you have regular sex in the last trimester of pregnancy?
How often, per week, would that be? (roughly)
Were both of you "satisfied"? (I'm asking because semen is supposed to contain prostaglandins that help ripen the cervix, and female orgasm causes uterine contractions.)
Did you deliver your baby early, on his/her due date, or late?
How long was your labour?
For my part, we DTD about 3-4 times per week during both of my previous pregnancies, right up to the end, and usually, we were both satisfied. I went into labour with Elyse the morning after her due date, and she was born 7 hours later. Marieke was 6 days early, and also 7 hours of labour.
