did sex make u go into labor?

Question

I'm 36 weeks and the doctor swears sex , well the sperm can help labor start. My husband is terrified to have sex with me lately! I can't even imagine with this huge belly how or which way we would have sex. But I am determined to have this baby! Lol tell me what you think or experienced! 
Update: I'm measuring at 42 weeks, baby was estimating at 35 weeks 6pounds 9oz, my blood pressure is higher then mine usually is but not at a concerning point yet and I'm very swollen

Answer

Why would you want to deliver a month early...?

Answer

Semen contains prostaglandins, at the end of pregnancy your cervix has prostaglandin receptors that turn on. When prostaglandins are applied the cervix soften and begins to dilate. Sex will only push you over the edge if you are riiiiight about to go into labor anyway.

Answer

At 36 wks You don't want to have your baby hun. You are preterm and baby will still be developing its lungs and brain until 39 wks....
