I've been really really positive even tho i'm now 4 days overdue, but tonight has been crap.Me and oh tried to do the deed to help things along and i just wouldn't let him 'in' sorry tmi, i just felt a bit sore down there. We tried a few times but then i stopped it, i had a sweep on thurs and altho it didn't hurt i must have been tense - to still be sore now? We did it the night before my sweep but not since then. Just feel I've had enough now. Sex seems the only way to start things off and i cant do it!

Oh poor thing Claire!! You must be so frustrated! I wouldn't try sex if you have had a sweep to be honest.

I have heard even the spasms from an orgasm can also get things going as well and get your Uterus moving. Maybe try that! or eat a huge Indian tonight! that worked for me I ate and ate until I literally popped lol!

Good luck and hopefully labour will kick off tonight, i have my fingers crossed for you!!

Hi hun, sorry to hear that hun,
I actually read last night that its semen that gets things started and it is absorbed better orally so your o/h should be pleased
Good luck

Gxx

I heard that too about even an orgasm can produce enough oxytocin (or whatever its called) to start you off.

Ive been having sex almost every day 9and twice on some days ) for the past week and ive still gone overdue so unless everything is favourable it wont work anyway.
