Okay.............. So I know that sex will help you go into labor. But yetserday I already lost my mucus plug, so is it still safe to have sex???Because I know after your water breaks its not safe because of bacteria and stuff. I want to have sex to get the labor going because of the whole preclampsia thing......., but my husband is scared ........Because the doc says he can definitley feel the babys head.My husbands afraid he will hurt the baby.

I had sex at 37 weeks and had my baby. I didn't want to have her 3 weeks early, but the semen forced her out.

The semen contains the same hormone that our brain produces to initiate contractions. I had sex at midnight and started having contractions immedietly the next morning. And by 7.58pm, she was here.

Soooo, having sex is ok. But if you're early, try to restrain on him coming inside of you! Tell him to pull out.

Nooooooo! I was told no by my doc. If it's gone and anything is inserted vaginally, bacteria can be introduced compromising the health of the baby.
