Am I a horrible mom?

Question

I heard semen, orgasms and nipple stimulation start labor if the baby is ready.  Am I a horrible mother for wanting to do all the things starting at 37 weeks?

Answer

Technically 39 weeks is full term, not 37. However those things will only trigger labor if your body and baby are ready.

Answer

IF your body is ready...full term is full term for a reason. Don't try to put your body in labor. That time in the womb is important.

Answer

My dr told me to start having a lot of sex at 36 weeks

Answer

Go for it! The baby is developed enough and you're just trying to help boost the baby outta it's comfort zone.

Answer

No your not a horrible mother lol

Answer

Psh not horrible as soon as 37wks hits I'm doing jumping jacks lol but all my kids was born at 37-38 weeks one 8.4 lbs other 7.4
I personally don't think the nipple stimulation worms, but the walking up hills did it for me both times lol

Answer

Nope I'm going for it all once I've finished work (10 days before due) baby will be fine by then it'll be me thats fed up!

Answer

No not horrible at all!

Answer

Nope! Semen can help soften the cervix, which may help you dilate. Not guaranteed though. Once I reach 38 weeks I'll be full force with walking miles a day, squats, sex etc. If only to help dilation. I won't be eating full pineapples or anything, but I'll try the few things that'll at least get me hopefully past 1cm!

Answer

Nope 37 is full term so go for it :)
