sex... at 37 weeks...

Ann marie
Ok I only had sex with my hubby like 3 times after finding out I was pregnant since I didn't want anything bad to happen in first trimester( had a miscarriage a year ago so I didn't want bleeding to occur and make me think it's happening again) and second trimester it was the last thing on my mind! Well at my 36 week appointment I was checked and cervix was closed even through I have had a lot of Braxton hicks! I thought sex or sperm can help loosen or at least start my mucus plug breaking down to cause my cervix to at least open a little.. well it didn't go as planned! Hubby was excited for real sex since all I have been doing for him is a hand job... well he gets so excited that right before he puts his guy part in I get sperm all over my leg! I was disappointed and he was embarrassed and disappointed too!!  Hopefully in a few days when we try again he makes it inside on me and I don't have to take a shower to clean off!!!
Any advice on getting mucus plug to break down or get closer to labor?? I don't want the baby out today or tomorrow but I don't want to go past 40 weeks!!
