Is sex at 38+ weeks okay?

Is having sex with your partner a good idea so far in the pregnancy? Lately it's been hurting when we do it but the only reason we keep doing it is because we heard it helps dilate & I really wanna get this baby out already so I can meet him. Any thoughts??

Sex is fine until your water breaks, unless your doctor says otherwise. However, it will do nothing to help you dilate if your body isn't already starting the process.
