5 (!) times and not a single contraction

[Galatea]

Last night I was feeling frisky and let's just say I was rewarded 5 times... and not a single contraction or anything! If that doesn't do something, I think the baby will never come out and I will have to evict her with a shoe horn or something! WTH?! Not even one contraction?

[veganf]

I guess she's definitely not ready yet! Have fun though!

[HerthElde]

heehee . . . "rewarded" . . . love it!

[adtake]

Yeah we walked the zoo for 5 hours ..not a contraction. Walk babies out my arse!

Enjoy though!!

[PerkyKP]

5 times?! Wow, you go girl!

Can't believe you couldn't get a contraction or two out of that.

[dollyanna]

For me yesterday they started before the big "finish" and I didn't want to go through with it all. It was just too weird/painful. I know that the contractions are part of the point of it all, but I just couldn't deal. The day before that everything went fine, though. Guess we'll try again tonight!

[bugnbean]

I agree...I bow down to your five times LOL
It sounds like your LO just isn't quite ready yet.

[battymama]

I dtd once to day and i am having quite a few contractions. Still really frisky though, i have worn DH out this week so no more for me tonight

[Galatea]

Yeah, I didn't do it to get contractions. I was just in the mood. But you would think 5 orgasms would stimulate something!

[majormajor]

wow! only a pregnant lady could complain about 5 orgasms.

if i were you, i'd choose to believe they did some kind of pre-labor work anyway. like, higher levels of oxytocin helping to soften your cervix, or something... i'm such an optimist.

[Intertwined]

Oh man! Orgasm actually causes a contraction hard enough to HURT me (but NOT make the babies come out) so I've just been avoiding it!

Wait, was it 5 for him or 5 for you?

I think I just figured out why sex works as a labour starter for me (I'm a chronic multiple orgasmer)

[MarchWillow]

LOL-"shoe horn" now that sounds kinky...

[snazzy_mom]

I am SO using this tonight. Thank you!!!

Now I can tell hubby, who hinted that he would like some "rewards" this evening, that one of the moms on my moms board did it 5 times and nothing happened, so we shouldn't bother!!

Again, thank you , thank you, thank you!!

p.s. Sorry it didn't work for you

Now, that's just bragging

[Breeder]

You may not be contracting but if he was 'rewarded' as much as you were then your cervix is probably much softer now. SO you could be progressing in effacement. Optimism!

I'm still stuck back on the 5 times!!!

[Galatea]

No, 5 for me, 1 for him. Maybe we'll try again tonight. I need something to pass the time.

[seren]

5, wow! We dtd last ngiht, but nothing came of it. I suggested it today, but dh was puking most of the morning so he didn't feel up to it. *sigh* LOL, just kidding. I feel bad for him.

Ohhhhh, yeah, to really get things going for me it has to be two or three times for him (which is lots more for me) . . .
Great way to pass the time
