WALKING TO MAKE LABOR GO SMOOTHER??

Question

I've heard numerous people say walking makes labor easier... Induces labor... Etc. so this morning I decided to go for a walk. I walked a mile & started having contractions. Just want to hear others experiences on walking actually making labor easier for them?? Or do you think it's a waist of time??

Answer

Definitely not a waste of time.  May or may not help with labor, but exercise is never a waste.

Answer

Labour is one of the biggest workouts a woman will do in her lifetime. Walking helps prepare a woman for it. Think of it like training for a marathon. You wouldn't just wake up one day and decide to do a marathon, you'd need to train for it. Being out of shape will definitely make labour harder on the body. Plus it helps descend the baby into the birth canal and can help those pesky digestive issues we have at this point of our pregnancy. Definitely not a waste!
