I convinced him last time bc he kept saying no. & I was like "I can do it, I'll keep up" lol (tmi) than like 15 mins into it, I just had to stop. :/ he didn't like that. & since than he said he was done for now . lol so I don't know what else to do.

These contractions are making me want to do it anyways even though I'm scared! Lol it can be uncomfortable in a few positions during sex but I'm trying everything I can to speed things up a little bit! I'm so impatient at this point. But I guess they will come when they want to!

I am in the same boat as you! I am 37 weeks 2 days and wish I was as dialated as you! Last time thwy checked I was 1 1/2 and 75% efaced. But I am having the worst contractions! I went in last week cause my contractions were 6 minutes apart but I wasn't progressing with the dialating. So now I'm just walking alot and Tmi but SEX! I just want to see my son too! I heard that castor oil helps but I'm scared to try it!
