Walking induce?

Question

So my body isn’t showing any signs of labor or that it’ll happen soon.  I’m almost 38 weeks. My mom went two weeks over with all of her pregnancies so my doctor thinks I should start walking more so I can deliver at 40 weeks without being induced. My question is how much walking do I need to do? I’ve done squats my entire pregnancy so I thought that would also help. Lol

Answer

I wouldn’t do anything to naturally induce labor. You’re just going to get tired and baby won’t come if baby isn’t ready. Forcing baby out isn’t the best.

Answer

With three of my six pregnancies, so far, I was walking my other kids to school every weekday. That was a total of 4 miles each day, plus whatever walking I did with normal household chores. On average, I’d usually walk between 5-6 miles every day, with the exception of weekends. Average weekends was about 3 miles. I did go into labor ‘naturally’ all three times, but only once before my due date. Two of those times my midwife advised the use of castor oil, for other medical reasons. I know everyone says walking is the natural way to get things moving but it never did anything for me

Answer

I walked every single day, once I got to 37 weeks I literally walked over an hour each day, I still had to be Induced. I also did everything possible except castor oil, baby will only come when they’re ready 😔

Answer

I walked for an hour and still nothing. But then a few days later I went into labor
