Sex and the third trimester...
Hello body changes. This may be a TMI post. Okay, it WILL BE TMI. So don't read any more if you are offended by this kind of talk.
Are there still people out there who are offended by this kind of talk? LOL.
I know this is my second pregnancy but this is a new question because, quite honestly, with my first pregnancy sex was there but not as much. This time around I have much more of a drive and am really enjoying it a lot more. Granted, I am only getting to the point now where my belly is in the way and uncomfortable so this may change.
Here is my question. I have always heard things like nipple stimulation (ns) can bring on labor, pre-term labor. And...well...ns is a big part of sex for me right now. Ummm, the best part actually. I do not want to give it up. I need to know if I should and WHEN I should. And how serious this is.
OK. I am all red faced now but I needed to ask! 
Thanks in advance, girlies....
ox,
Mel

Re: Sex and the third trimester...
no advice but good for you and your nipples.
I may have broken the no tennis rule yesterday :-/
I am very curious to see the replies!
This will be very helpful to me in the near future
Oh man. This almost made me fall of my chair! LMAO!!!!!
Okay...so you "may" have? That means you did. Right?
As long as it was worth it.......... Personally, I think you guys waited long enough!
I think that if your body is ready to go into labor or preterm labor, those things will definately trigger it but it won't do anything if your body is not ready.
I did everything possible during my first pregnancy to go into labor, including ns and I never went into labor, never.
I nursed Sebastian (alot still) while I was pregnant with Nate (which is considered nipple stimulation) and I never even had a contraction.
I have also heard that but to be honest never heard of anyone actually going into labor cause their bitties were stimulated. I think I sat there for 2 days fiddling with mine to bring it on with DD but nothing..
LOL to bitties
Mel--I begged him, we started and maybe 1.5 min later Aaron woke up and started walking to our room. It was like my Dr had him on alert.
On a positive note nothing happened because of it so I think we shall try again this weekend to make some of our own fireworks
LMAO @ Liz - bitties and fiddling with bitties.
I
you guys.
GO BETH! After the drought....those will be some fireworks.
My husband (and I) thank you. Haha.
Beth, go for it! I was restricted after the IVF for 6 wks (technically, last time was days before actual conception LOL). By the time they gave us the OK, we never did that night, and the following day I had a lot of bleeding (clot), and we put on restriction once again. OB never lifted it until 2 wks ago (16 wks)!
Mel - no advice, but I'm with you... NS is my thing too. LOL

LMAO @ Liz!! Too funny!!!
I agree with the girls, if your body is not ready to go into labor, I don't think that will trigger it.
I was a pre-term labor risk so I couldn't play tennis or do anything during the 3rd tri, so I say go for it!!
yay for sexxxx during pg!
like you, i didnt want sex during my 1st pg...i think it was more the "omg what if something happens", "what if we hurt the baby", "what if i miscarry"....girl this time around it's like we're high school rebels...any time any place!!! i say have funnnn!!
I heard what V said. If your body isn't ready, ns will do nothing for you
I'm jealous that your enjoying "tennis" nothing down there has functioned properly since I got PG
My poor husband.

Ditto the other girls. Go for it, Mel. I'm jealous that you have a drive. I can barely move these days so tennis has been totally out of the question. My poor DH.
Dr Bridge says GO FOR IT! I was like Eve- my first pregnancy I dind't want anything tennis related. The second time I was a rabbit and enjoyed any and every type of stimulation in the bittes or clitties! And I'm sure the bebe will enjoy being rocked to bed

Beth: I
you!!!
That is how I feel this time around Allison. I was a horndog last two pregnancies but now I can barely move and just the thought of it exhausts me though, I dream about it ALOT though!!
As long as you're having a normal pregnancy and not at risk for pre term labor, then sex and nipple stimulation are okay. As long as your doctor has not advised against sex, then you should be fine.
The oxytocin that this released from nip stim and orgasm is not enough to bring on labor unless your body and cervix are ready to go into labor. Semen contains proglandins but not in the amount that would make a change in your cervix unless your cervix was already ripe and ready to go- like at the very end of pregnancy.
Orgasm may cause BH contractions but that is completely normal in a healthy pregnancy. The BH contrx stimulate the baby which is actually good for the baby's nervous system and they strengthen the uterus for birthing.
All good! Enjoy it! You never know when you'll feel this sexy again after the baby arrives.
