What can I do for a faster labor?

Question

I'm 29 weeks pregnant now, I have shamefully been very lazy during my pregnancy but I'm getting very anxious and nervous about labor so I've decided to join a gym tomorrow and just do some low impact things like walking on an incline or using an elliptical... I was curious if anyone has any tricks I can start practicing NOW to help me towards having a faster, easier labor...

Answer

Walk walk walk. I only worked for 3 months of my pregnancy an got super sick so I couldn't work anymore but I kept walking no matter how miserable I was an drank lots of water. For 3 days I walked for 5 hours a day(an hour for each walk) on the 4th day I had my son only 2&1/2 hours of labor an 10min of pushing

Answer

I just recently started taking evening primrose oil. It's suppose to help your cervix ripen. I've read that continuously taking it can shorten your labor. A lot of women take it both orally & insert one vaginally at night. I only take it orally at the moment. I'll find out tomorrow if my cervix has softened anymore 👍

Answer

Slow workouts are good to do, no heavy lifting or pushing yourself though, because it could actually put you in premature labor

Answer

Sounds like a good start! Maybe some red raspberry leaf tea lots of water and healthy eating also a yoga ball might help baby get in a good position

Answer

Faster and easier aren't necessarily the same thing. Learn about different positions you could try! And don't be in too
Much of a hurry.
