Does sex induce labor at 35 weeks?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It shouldn't, but...: But sex means 10 different things to 10 different people. A 35-week pregnant woman with contractions can call her Ob-Gyn doctor and go get examined at the doctor's office or at the hospital's labor and delivery ward. The doctor will be checking for preterm labor, which can lead to a preterm birth. The goal is to get to at least 38 weeks, so it is important to be examined if having contractions.

Not unless: labor is about to start on it's own anyway. Otherwise no.
