Has anyone broke doctors orders on no orgasm no sex pelvic rest?

Question

I'm almost 25 weeks. I'm beyond done with these pelvic rest orders. I have a short cervix (fluctuates beween 2.2 and 1.9cm). Has anyone else been in a similar situation and decided to break the rules, even just once a week for a non-penetrative orgasm?

Answer

When you orgasm a hormone is released & the contractions both can contribute to starting labour, usually when further alone. But why even risk it?

Answer

Should follow doctors orders, they placed that order for a good reason.

Answer

Why would you even want to risk it?

Answer

An orgasm put me in preterm labor at 31 weeks with my second pregnancy. I had to be hospitalized until 35 weeks. I was on strict bed rest for almost a month straight and had to be monitored multiple times a day and on meds. When I was discharged my muscles were so weak that I couldn’t walk from the car to the house. If your doctor said not to do it, you shouldn’t do it. It’s not worth the risk of being hospitalized or having a preemie just because of a few minutes of fun. I personally wouldn’t risk it

Answer

I broke it with my last. 10 mins later I was in full blown labor. Baby was born that night at 31 weeks.

Answer

Listen to the doctor. I have a shortened cervix as well. I was placed in pelvic rest at week 7 with progesterone suppositories and heparin. Emergency cerclage was done at 20 weeks. Strict bedrest at 26 weeks until 36 weeks. Two sets of beta shots at 28 and 32 weeks. Because I listened to my doctors orders of pelvic rest (and other precautions), my daughter was a tweener born at 36+3 instead of 28 weeks like anticipated. Please don’t chance it.

Answer

I totally get everyone’s opinions here but I felt like I needed that emotional connection with my husband. I got my cerclage placed at 13 weeks. And my doctor and I talked about sex. He said sex itself it’s really the problem. It’s orgasms. For weeks we decided not to even risk it, but it’s tough. We’ve had sex maybe 1 or 2 times without full penetration and no orgasm for me. Everything has been fine so far. 
I just don’t want you to feel shamed and too many people go straight in to “why would you risk it” 
But also with that being said, we are getting more nervous about it now. It is a risk. There are risks in everything now.
