Tried dtd last night (not the most comfortable experience of my life!) and did the usual 'clean up' afterwards. But then I had a thought; if there is something in the semen which can soften cervix, should I be doing the legs in the air thing for a while so it's got a chance to work? (ie: like ttc)

What do you think? HAs anyone heard anything about it?

And before anyone suggests it - I am NOT ingesting it! x

39 weeks today... come on baby!!

I could be wrong peanut but I think it is more good for stimulating the uterus to start contracting. Not heard of anything being in the semen.

39 weeks how exciting!!!

Good luck SB x

Hay i would of thought you have to as when i was induced you have to lie flat for 30 or so and that's is basically the same thing but strong i think.

Hi,

I was hoping that trying this may get things going for me as im 38 weeks tomorrow, but hadnt even thought about putting my legs in the air for a while afterward! Good idea!

There is a hormone in Semen that can bring on labour (i guess similar to being induced by a hormone by a drip in the hospital) that doubled with all the jiggy jiggy surely has to help in some way! :lol:

Hahaha just the idea of lying with my bum in the air at this size is making me chuckle! :lol: :lol: Perhaps lying on your side for a bit after would be enough just to keep it in for a bit??

Not sure but I imagine its any contact between the cervix and prodtaglandins in the semen that counts.

But presumably if baby is nearly baked your cervix would be quite low anyway increasing chances of the 2 being in contact?

Whatever you do just have fun!

I'm starting to think there is something wrong with me as I am totally not at that 'get the baby out of me' stage yet. I keep getting periods of being shattered mixed with the uncontrollable urge to clean and I have hip/back pain but I'm generally pretty well.
Perhaps its because I am almost aiming for the date 2 weeks after my due date as the date when he will be here by???

Hey, not to put you off but I read in a preg mag that you would need to have sex 57times for the semen to have any effect. Im not to sure how true it is but if its not sore and you can keep it exciting id go for the 57times. xx

With DD the best position for me was 'Jockey' sat as upright as possible encouraging baby down into the cervix with gravity. It is the natural juices that are released through stimulation and arousal that are supposed to act much like a 'sweep' and yes it can help if you and OH reach climax. As for injesting or swallowing semen, not reccommended as, contrare to the wive's tale of it being absorbed into blood through the stomach, it is more likely to settle in your stomach and remain there for some time before being rejected which can cause nausea and stomach cramps.
