masturbate..

Okay so I'm 37 weeks pregnant. And I've been extremely horny. I'm not technically with my baby's dad and I'd feel awkward asking him for sex. :-P
Is it okay to masturbate?
I mean I know it's okay but I'm scared I'll go into labor or something which I don't want right now.
Any advice?

The sperm softens your cervix, the orgasm can start contractions. If you're not ready you won't go into labor. Trust me, I've tried lol.

Yes, it is okay to masturbate.
I think most of the trigger with sex has to do with the sperm actually softening the cervix.
Most women say it doesn't make a difference unless your body is ready for labor anyways.
