How much sex to encourage soft cervix?

How much sex is really needed? We've been trying for every night, and I am getting induced next Wednesday. So far my cervix is considered "unfavorable"!

Help? :o)

  • do it like rabbits! haha.. that's about all i can think of!
  • Sex is just like every other "natural induction" method, it isn't going to throw you into actual labor unless your body is ready.  Doesn't hurt to keep trying though.

    Wow.... lol I can't see that happening. I guess we'll just do it once a day, more than that is just work and not fun anymore, lol!

    Holy sh!t!! We hate even doing it once a day anymore I would die if we were trying to go at it 3 times a day 

  • If I had to do it three times a day in my current condition I would kill myself.
  • Sex never sends me into labor... but for some reason, eating pineapple does! lol
  • We did it a few times a day for 4 days with DS and went from totally closed up like Ft. Knox to 1.

  • doesn't EPO do the same thing??  So try sex once a day and insert the EPO at night to help things along.  DH and I had sexy time last night and I cannot fathom 3x's a day, no thanks...stay put little man!
