Sex actually is recommended because there is something in sperm that helps with softening the cervix I believe. I was told to have sex and went from a thick cervix Friday afternoon to one that's finally softening as of early this morning.
Oh thanks, now I totally want chinese food on top of cake!!
And just FYI, sex at 4cm is totally painful. I know it's good for dilation and starting up contractions, but for real... I don't think I can handle anymore of that! (DH is also pretty 'gifted', iykwim... so... it's not that comfortable..)
I am with Tiffany! I want cake and Chinese. I just stuffed Oreos down my throat to curb my cake fix...didn't work btw.
I know I should walk more but damnit I am so lazy! LOL I can't say if sex is working or not but we have been sexing at least once a day. It has become a bit uncomfortable so one session is good enough for me! I figure he will come when he is ready but I am willing to try walking and sex to move things along. I know last night we went to target and I was having contractions one on top of another and I couldn't talk through them and was bent over in the middle of the store. I finally caved and said lets go home! I sat on my ball and they petered out! DAMNIT!
I've heard the chinese food thing from a friend, but not why. It's funny because I've been eating chinese food for two days now...so maybe that's a good thing!
Mmm chinese. Too bad our development isn't yet on google and the non-english speaking employees can never find us for delivery

Re: Sex and Chinese food
Why Chinese food?

Sex and walking is what my OB told me. I have been walking like a mad woman and DH and I have had sex everyday for the past 3 days. Not working. LOL.
I just think that when it is time it is time.

I have never heard of the Chinese food thing...but I have heard of spicy or curry....
My OB just said to keep walking...and keep contracting (um, ok, will do).
