Walking?

Question

Do you think walking actually helps you to dilate? I want to walk but i also don’t want it to be for nothing.

Answer

Walking can help encourage dilation if your body is ready, so there’s definitely no harm in it (unless you have a medical reason not to) but it’s important not to go crazy with it. I go for a daily 20-30 minute walk. I know a woman who walked 20 km in two days to start labor, and it did nothing but exhaust her. So definitely go for even a 15 minute daily walk if you have the energy. If anything it can help your baby descend.

Answer

Nope

Answer

I think it can help encourage baby to get into a good position and if his head is low enough it can put some pressure on your cervix to help it out. Might not dilate but could help with the thinning. I was walking laps at the mall everyday for a couple weeks before labour and my midwife was sure it was helping my cervix soften and thin

Answer

I think it’s more to get baby into position. I read a lot of people post about how they are always on the move and no dilation

Answer

I don’t think it does I’m on my feet all day with work moving nonstop then I’m with my toddler and nothing has changed at all for me.
