What sexy time with DH can lead to...

Maria Agnesa

Ok so yesterday DH and I had sexy time (yay), however, RIGHT after I was getting major cramps that were very low and went from the front of my belly and circled to my back. This went on for about an hour before I began to really watch them... between 7:11pm and 7:30 I had 3 that lasted about 1-2 min. each so I called the hospital.  They told me to come in and get checked. 

So I went in and they monitored me for about 1 1/2 an hour and they basically said it was minor contractions brought on by sex.  So We went home and the cramping/contractions continued till about 11 and I went to bed.  This morning I woke up, went pee and I lost my mucus plug. 

So....my list of things to do today:

1. Packing my hospital bag (just in case LO comes early)

2. Shaving.... EVERYWHERE

Oh and I will not be having sex with DH for at least 2 weeks!!! Heheheeh! 

Goodness LO can you relax... you have at least 2 weeks to chill!

lol-but it really only works if your body is ready. The fact that you didnt go into real labor, shows you arent ready. have fun! we had sex a lot the last 2 wks.

I also tried this someone a week and a half ago....I was in alot of pain the next day with a ton of contractions all day long.  I'm sure it helped to make some progress, but now that I have made it to 37 weeks, I think we might have to have some more sexy time - it was the first time we had had sex since we tried to conceive (it was really uncomfortable when we tried in the 2nd trimester and my hormones have been really wack). 

Since I have heard this really works well, we plan on trying it again just for he heck of it....

We've been pretty consistant with sex throughout the pregnancy but before yesterday it had probably been about a week and a half.  Oh well... DH will have to wait 2 weeks!  By 37 weeks I'm sure I'll be ready for some action in both departments (going into labour and sex!)

wow!  how have you two gotten along & kept up with your relationship? I just ask because I used to go crazy if we didnt have sex 2-3 times a week and i couldnt imagine going as long as you have without it... good for you -- i gather that you two have another way of staying close and im just curious..  

we too have not had too much lately because i got a yeast infection---uggg!!! but i cant wait to try sexy method in a couple weeks !!!

I also was in a similar situation with DS.  We went to the hospital, got monitored and then the contractions stopped, thank god cause I was only 27 wks.  But the day before my due date with DS we had sexy time and a few mins later my water broke.

I've always been the instigator, and always ready to go...but starting these last couple weeks even if we TRIED I could not get in the mood.

DH totally understands that my hormones are out of whack and is a trooper...we're going for 3x a week to try and get everything toned up and ready to go!

My DH was extremely frusterated.  We spend as much time together as possible, and do other things - go out to eat, go mini-golfing, go to the casino, etc.  I felt really bad he felt that way, and we had been semi-disconnected for a few monthes, expecially after the 2nd trimester episode.  He is just extremely understanding - I had some spotting in the 1st trimester, and that scared the crap outta me - my cervix was extremely sensitive.  With that being said we also have a stance with our marriage - til death due us part.  We will go leaps and bounds to make sure our marriage works - neither of us believe in ever getting a divorce (this is our personal belief, although I understand for some people, it just doesn't work) - we hardly ever fight too.  I like to think we have a very strong relationship.
