Question! I went into the hospital last Monday for what I thought was contractions but when I got there they didn't pick anything up and said it could just be Braxton hicks. And they checked to see if I'm dilated and I'm not. When they discharged me the paper had a check next to no sexual activity. I've been feeling frisky and I would like to surprise my fiancé tonight but Idk if I should do it or wait till I talk to my doctor at my next appointment. Any opinions?
I'm obv not a dr but I would say it's cool just know if you orgasm that it's going to make your uterus contract so you might have cramping or more bh but that's prob the reason I'd say
That's true but the office is already closed for the day and I don't find this a reason for the on call doctor lol. I see him tomorrow so I could wait if I have too
Sex is perfectly fine, it can actually help you to dilate! You're going to contract during or after sex if you reach orgasm, that's just the way your body works. I went to the hospital last night for the same thing, I'm dilated to 2cm and 80% effaced at 36+5 and still had sex this morning. Don't worry, only worry about having sex after your water breaks, lol, that's a no no.
You could always call your doctor and ask them. I know it might be a little embarrassing but you're probably not going to ask them anything they haven't already been asked.
I have an appt to check my baby's growth and check my cervix today. I'm at risk for preterm labor and was wondering when they check my cervix through ultrasound if they can see if I'm dilated or anything like that?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
So because I got a cervical check done by a man my S/O says I'm "tampered" with and that's like cheating . wtf
You'll be fine. you can have sex up until your water breaks. it won't cause problems. Braxton hicks are normal to have anyway
