He doesnt seem to want me to have this baby anytime soon, because we have christmas and then new years, so when I called him about the cramping that wouldnt go away in any position, he said stop having sex and it will subside. So if I try again will I go into real labor? Im sooo beyond ready to have this baby and am about 38 weeks along and 80% effaced.

It is very possible to bring on labor by having sex. My friends doctor actually told her to leave work and go home and have sex with her hubby after she called in because she was starting to have signs of labor. The adive worked and really sped things along.
Just a thought, though. I don't know anything about your doc...his motives might be totally selfish, BUT he has a point. The day you give birth is going to be that baby's birthday forever. The holidays are busy and stressful. I, personally, would not enjoy having a birthday so close to Chrismas. I know how booked most people's schedules are this time of year and I would want to be able to celebrate a birthday without the hassle of working it around such busy schedules.

i am 39 weeks along and the thought of intercourse right now is so not appealing but him telling you to stop having sex and it will stop sounds like he is just giving advice. if you have sex and cramp and dont want to cramp then dont have sex. though most doctors probably dont want to deliver a baby in the middle of the christmas rush. while he is being a little selfish on that its always best to not overdue it right before the baby is ready to come out. forcing labor is very very painful and can cause more harm than good even if you are beyond ready to get the baby to the outside so it stops beating you up sometimes your body or even the baby is not quite done cooking in the oven yet. trust me its not long now. but if you are wanting to get him to speed up then intercourse and walking or maybe some slow dancing to get your hips swaying(it worked for my friend) or some spicy foods might help move him along.
good luck and god bless

You are probably right about him not wanting to deliver the baby over the holidays. You could go into labor with sex, however walking might be a better idea. Good luck and congrats.

The baby will come when the baby is ready. Sex may bring on labor, so how bad do you want this doctor. He sounds a little insensitve to your wants though...

If you feel like you are cramping and need to be checked by a doctor. Go to the ER.
Don't let this doctor ignore your health and safety of you and your child.

Don't let this doctor intimidate you.

The ER will decide if you are in labor or not.
You can also change doctors. Believe me your safety is upmost.

Also, you can ask the doctor to induce you tomorrow. that way you get your baby and he gets his holiday.

But shame on him for this.
