38+6 weeks and sex causing contractions

Just a lighthearted moan and to see of anyone has experiences similar.

Fed up of being pregnant (second pregnancy, giant baby) but now my body is being mean!

Two nights in a row I have had strong contractions all night after sex. They start off 3 minutes apart immediately.

The first night they disappeared about 3am, 3minutes apart for hours... BUT the second time they carried on all night, through a bath, all morning until we were in hospital... and of course they weakened and slowed to a stop so we came home defeated... I'd even (TMI) done a 'labour poo' the contractions were so strong and fast and I really thought this is it, it was just like my first labour! Lost my mucus plug and everything. No idea if I'm dilated at all or how engaged baby is, I hope very! Grin

Just a little frustrated and disappointed. Obviously I know baby will come in it's own time but yesterday would have coincided with actually having easy childcare so would have been less stressful Grin but oh well.

Anyone else had such sure latent labour signs, especially caused by sex, then just... nothing?

@OHthatbanana really OP that is your body doing it's thing getting all geared up for the main event

Can you feel yourself what stage your cervix is at? Bet you can xx

@nadgersbadgers not sure how I'd manage it myself, even if I knew what I was looking for 😆 not sure I could reach iyswim Grin

I hope you're right and it starts very soon, not sure whether to avoid sex or try it again amd see if it works properly...

With my second I could feel my own cervix and touch her head in early labour. Good luck.
