Can sex bring on labour-35 weeks

Hello, just wondering if having sex at 35 weeks would bring on my labour?
I haven't had sex for MONTHS and I was wondering if that would effect my labour at all?

I would say not unless your body was close to being ready to go into labour anyway.

Unless your actually close to going anyway, it won't.

Both my labours started just hours after sex, 37+3 & 38+5, but they may have been ready anyway!

Nothing would bring on labour for me (was actually trying as full term) with all 3 of my babies. Sex won't harm unless your waters have gone, its fine!

Only if you're ready to go (or have a high-risk pregnancy where you'd be advised to abstain).
