It is okay to have intercourse as long as you have not broken your water. I had intercourse the night before I was induced and I was 1 cm dialiated and 50% effaced. As for your second question every pregnancy is different so you could go in 5 min or 3 weeks... Good Luck with your upcomming Blessing!

I'm also 37 wks, 2 cm and 70% effaced.  With my second daughter I was dialated for 2 wks and when she came she came fast.  I am also hoping for a quick delivery with this one!  I also think that sex (when I climaxed) was when I started labor.  So I think you are perfectly fine to continue having sex.  Might help things along!  Good luck.  

When is your due date?

It's perfectly fine to have sex, as long as your water hasn't broken, I would just keep going with it as it will help move things along! =) I went into labor by 38 weeks. I was 4cm and 100% effaced right around 37 weeks. You are getting there. You could go into labor tomorrow or it may be another couple of weeks! I would do lots of walking! =)
