Hello lisaMC, and congratulations on your pregnancy, future child, and for surviving the first seven months already! Experienced professional birth assistant here, so forgive me if i wax ‘matronizing’ a bit. Note that i am NOT an obstetrician or certified midwife, and have never advised in such a case before, so, have your saltshaker handy as you read. On the More Medical Side (apply saltshaker here), light spanking oughtn't cause any harm. If your pregnancy is a low risk and healthy one thus far, common adrenaline rushes are nothing to worry about. You get as much from a hearty work out, and exercise is Good. Sudden fear, shock, or severe physical disturbance, on the other hand, may induce premature labor, which is Not Good. But a consensual gentler version of corporal punishment (light spanks, pinches, etc.) shouldn't pose a problem. Do bear in mind, though, that nipple stimulation and certain acupoints on the calves are believed by some to have inductive effects. On the Nagging Vanilla-Grandmotherly Side (saltshaker can remain shaking), you and your Dom might want to try creative variations of punishment as have been mentioned above. You are both probably tense and tired now, so it would be great to blow off some steam. To that end, try things that requires effort but will also help you relax. The repetitive sentences might have a mantra-like effect. Or you could be required to complete assignments in arts and crafts (knitting, quilting, a visual journal, etc.), which will also serve as valuable mementos after the birth. Or, if you really need something physically exerting, your Dom can order you to go on walks or do stretches and exercises that are pregnancy safe. There are a lot of exercises designed to physically prepare you toward labor and delivery, which might be therapeutic and beneficial. jmho. Best wishes for your last trimester, and for a smooth delivery!
