no sex for 7 months

[hawraali35]

Hey ladies! So quick question my husband is in the army and I havent seen him or had sexual intercourse with him since I was about 8 weeks pregnant. Im currently 35 weeks and 3 days pregnant and if I go full term it would be about 7 months of no sexual intercourse. I havent had the urge to have sex or want it seeing as im always tired and sleepy but I was wondering would that do harm to my baby? Im also due on March the 5th...would I go over my due date or make labor that much harder for me?

Thanks guys for the info. To be honest Im not comftrable and a little scared to do the prenatal massages but I have beem giving the Kegel excercises a try.

Prenatal massage ♥ I work at a massage clinic and have a whole book in regards to it. It helps a lot with breathing and relaxation for labor, helps induce but it also is healthy for the baby, it helps them to become very active which helps for counts. I've gotten a few of them throughout my pregnancy, but I suggest anytime between 34-37 weeks if you want it to provide help with labor

Having sex won't change anything when it comes to labor. But if you're trying to jump start labor, your husbands semen can help ripen your cervix.

Girl I'm in almost the same boat! My hubby will be home three weeks before I'm due. Sex certainly won't make anything easier or harder when it comes to labor, but like the other poster said, perenial massage and kegels are things you can do for yourself that help with tearing.
Kegels can keep your urethra strong and avoid bladder problems after as well.

Look up perenial massage. It's said to help prevent tearing along with kegels. Both should be something you can try on your own

Well when I go into labor would it be harder for me when pushing? Like would I tear more than women who have had sexual intercourse? In my mind im thinking since nothings been in me for months I would be really tight down there causing my baby boy to really hurt when coming out. I guess Im just scared I will tear all the way back :/

I really hope someone didn't tell you that you have to have sex while you are pregnant....cause that would be very stupid of them....the only way sex would help with labor is it can sometimes help induce labor naturally and if you're full term that is one good way of helping the process along....
