TMI

[Chhaya1]

Sorry, tmi maybe but I'm curious.
At 29w I went to the ER for contractions and they put me on pelvic rest because the mix of a UTI and sex was throwing me into labor. I'm now 31w and the UTI cleared up about 3 days after I went to the ER and my bf and I have had sex since. So far I haven't had a problem but he's been pulling out because if he finishes inside me I have braxton hicks. My question is, should he keep pulling out just to be on the safe side or does it matter since their just braxton hicks?
I don't go back to my doc until the 1st and it's awkward to ask my doc sex questions because he's an old guy and I'm 18. Lol please help if you can, sorry this is tmi

I'm 33 weeks already dilated two cm and sex is what got my daughter here but only because it had natural pitocin in it which is what they use to induce labor anyways. I've been on bed rest since I was shy of 31 weeks since I went into premature labor. But just keep doing the pull out method.

I only have contractions after sex if he finishes in me, I don't if he pulls out. I cramp constantly, with or without sex.
When I went in I wasn't dialated. I just wanted to see opinions :)

Sex can cause contractions regardless of whether or not he pulls out. I almost always have contractions or cramps after sex. My husband never pulls out and I'm on baby 4 and I've never had a preterm baby. Just because it softens your cervix doesn't mean it will dilate you.

I had the same issue w my first my bf had to pull out til I was Full term because it would cause contractions everyone time

My whole doctors office and all the staff are kinda rude so I'm in the process of switching and the nurse lady is very rude so I don't want to call about that if I can help it.
Alright we will just keep doing things how we've been doing things. Thanks

Sperm can soften your cervix because of the protein in it so pretty sure you don't want to go in to labor right now so I'll keep pulling out until your farther alone
Good luck boo

Can you call and talk to his nurse?
