[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get this whole "cervix checks increase infection risk" crap. If it's really that risky to stick a gloved hand up there, then none of us should be having any sex in the last trimester. I don't know about you, but I don't routinely sterilize my DH's body parts before such activities.[/quote]

Maybe read up on it a little bit when you don't get something. This is not a crunchy thing - it's scientific fact and doctors absolutely recognize it too, though they don't always adhere. The bacteria is from the vagina getting pushed up into the cervix when it is OPEN and while contractions are taking place, being the normal barrier to the uterus, the bacteria can go right up into the uterus. Cervical mucus exists to wash this bacteria down and out of the vaginal canal, but a cervical exam pushes it right back up. The danger increases even more if your water has broken. Anyway, I hope your husband is not nailing you while you are in labor, in which case my guess is that would be an infection risk, too. It's not his penis or the gloved / clean hand that it is the problem.
