I was reading thing about having sex in the last few weeks of pregnancy. They say they prefer that you don't have sex in the last few weeks because it induces labor (makes it come sooner). Ok now i'm wondering. Should I still have sex right now, because im in my 37th week. What do you other think??? or What would you all do? Thanks. ↓

well it all depends if you want labour to come sooner, My husband and I had sex on our 37th week and i heard about that bringing on labour, i couldnt handle it anymore as i had really strong braxton hicks, and i was so un comfortable so we went for it and had our son in my 37th week, so it is up to you,
think about it ↑

Sex may or may not induce labor, I am 39.5 weeks prego and have been trying everything to induce labor, and well I'm still here. The reason it may induce labor is semen contains prostagladins that ripen the cervix and your orgasm releases oxytocin which brings on uterine contractions. My midwife advised us to keep at it, I wouldn't worry if you are 37 weeks then you are already considered full term. Good luck ↑
