Orgasam/miscarrige Posted: 06-21-04 09:46am
Over the last 12 years I have lost two
babies late in pregnancy and according to
the doctors both times were due to
placenta privia. Then they told me I had
a weak cervix but I actually put it down
to an orgasam each time. The doctors told
me that an orgasam would not cause this to
happen but then why in all the text books
if you are past your due date why do they
recommend you to have sex as this brings
on labour?
Has any one out there thought that an
orgasam has sparked off a prem labour?

It's not the orgasm, it's sperm. Sperm
has prostaglandin which softens the
cervix. This is why sex is encouraged for
overdue women.

If your not, then get pregnant again, and
then don't have sex at all the whole time
and see what happens. Ask different
doctors. Most people have sex through out
the whole pregnancy, and they don't lose
their babys from it. So think about
that!

I went on to have a health baby after a
stitch was put in my cervix. What I
really want to know is if strong orgasams
can weaken the cervix?

If sperm softens the cervix then why can
pregnant women (not anywhere near their
due date) have sex? Wouldn't it be bad
for us?

Nope, it wouldn't be bad. The only people
who should refrain from sex during
pregnancy are women with an incompatant
cervix or placenta previa (only because
the risk of delivery could harm the fetus
and mother). The prostaglandin is not
very strong for one thing. Most normal
women early in pregnancy could have a
softening of the cervix but it would firm
back up. Another thing is that most
doctors who recommend this to help bring
on labor will tell a woman to position her
lower body in a way that the sperm will
pool over the cervix (such as laying lower
half on a pillow to keep the sperm on the
cervix. Most normal women will stand up
after sex, use the restroom, try to wipe
it out, etc.
