I have been told and read everywhere it can't hurt to try having sex to get things going...except it TOTALLY hurts! I'm 39+ 5 and no progression with cervix even my Dr told me try having sex... Its so uncomfortable ! Anyone else have discomfort or pain with sex ?
Re: Sex to induce + PAIN!
But despite the pain factor it is nice to be intimate again!
Walk a lot if you can, that's the only thing that i can say i am having any success with. I have had a couple of small shows after a lot of walking this week so there is some progression!
Possible TMI: DH and I have found him sitting down and me sitting in his lap where I can control the movement and depth really helps a lot.
But I really think relaxing has a LOT to do with it when your intimate. If your not relaxed and thinking about other things.. Ull tense up and it will def hurt more. I know many of us are trying to go this route to get baby out.. But it's still sex and should be fun and we should be able to let loose or whatever. Try not to think of it as work and enjoy yourself while you can before we give birth and need a donut just to sit down again!
Oh as its def easier on the edge of the bed with a soft pillow under ur belly while your "bent over"/doggy style.
