tinker

So my mom said I needa start walking more often (I am lazy always laying dwn) cuz if not the babys gna get stuck to me n ima have a hard birth with her... I'm going to b 23 weeks.. but has anyone ever heard that

angelsmommy

I've heard it does make labor easier.

caroline8_p

Not exactly true, but it does make vag birth easier if you do have a daily routine. Say about a 30 min brisk walk.

tinker

Yea I bearly started today walking 30 min a day is my goal lol.. n my bestie is right there to walk next to me which is a good thing

I only walked at the end cause I was sorta risk till I switched doctors. Honestly it didn't make a difference from my first.

tinker

I'm high risk that's why most of my pregnancy I was lazy n just slept n watchd tv.. but now I wana start walkn have something to do to get my mind off things

tinker

Roxy .... that's how I was before I got pregnant with my baby girl I had 2 mc so with this pregnancy I'm scared to do just bout anything.. I just gata think positive n take care of myself...

Walking helps with your stamina. But it depends. I'm a high risk pregnancy as well so I have to be careful and take it easy.

Yeah I heard that walking n staying a bit active will help with an easier labor. I am now 37wks 1 day and I continue to make myself walk..even if its something like a department store, grocery store, tredmil, or even just walking back n forth while my clothes are in the washer. Its getting close to summertime, so I try to get my bf to go on walks with me at a park or waterfront I'm hoping it pays off!

tinker

Same here hope it pays off n its less painful lol

cetheridge

I think it holds some truth. If your body is out of shape, meaning lack of muscle tone and staminia it makes sense that ur muscles wont be as efficient at getting baby out. My ex sis in law literally sat down all day everyday except to eat and she had a long labor/pushing, was out of oxygen and physically was barely able to push.her baby out. Baby wasnt even 6#.
