hey hun, i wasnt really up for it with my first pregnancy, but this time I am determined that DTD is whats gonig to get things gonig, sperm contains prostiglandins which can trigger dilation and effacement and get thnigs going, so I rekon the more you do it the better!

Also orgasms cause your uterus to contract so that can trigger contractions, iv definatly had some strong BH after DTD!

good luck xxx

Go for it. It'll only send you into labour of your body is ready.

Keep trying! Worked for us - either that or I just went into labour anyway but I was having contractions when I woke up the next morning. The prostaglandins help to soften your cervix (simiar to the gel they give you if you are induced) so it might be doing something for you! x

[edit...just noticed that you are 36+2 so it's likely that baby wants to stay in a bit longer as you're not considered full term yet]
