Did it work for y'all ?

Question

Did walking a lot work for y'all ? And if so how far along were you and how far did you walk ?

Answer

I was 40 weeks. I lived with my aunt and uncle at the time. June 6th was my due date (2013) and my doctor told me they don't like to induce labor and said I had to go to 42 weeks to see if baby would come on his own. Stubborn little thing. I was furious. Never have a baby in Virginia..... I went to the mall that day with my aunt and we walked walked walked. I was determined I was having that baby during that weekend.. Eff your 42 weeks lol. But anyways, I went the next day and I was fine, nothing was happening. That Saturday morning I woke up with bad back pain (labor pains). They were mild. I texted my aunt and next thing I knew, she was busting through the door and telling me to get dressed and in the car lol. I was like, yay this is it! Only to be told by the doctor I was barely even dilated. I begged them to stay and they finally agreed that I could walk around to see if anything changed. Up and down the stairs, around and around, up and down, around and around we went... Finally, they let me stay lol. I had my little 8lb 15 oz booger that day. June 8th 2013 (: 
I recommend walking!! Power walking though. Walk till it hurts.

Answer

I started walking 4-6 miles a week when I was like 35 weeks, all the way up til the day before i had my son. They also say the more you walk, the less time you will have to push. Which I wholeheartedly believe cause I asked my midwife how long first time moms push and she said between 3 and 6hrs. 😳 I only pushed for 30min with my oldest and with my youngest I pushed once.
