Are you Relaxing?

Question

My SO insists that I take it easy. Like, lay on the couch all day, easy. 
I'm due on the 22nd, we are first time parents.
I went on a nice long walk yesterday (admittedly to help my body progress) and I went walking around downtown today with some friends and he is quite concerned about it. He says im at a point where I need to relax and not push it. And says not to go on any more walks, especially long ones lol
 like whaaaat?!
Thinking maybe he is just nervous? 
He says no, of course. 
Or am I pushing it? 
I'm in great health lol

Answer

I mowed and weedwacked my lawn  at 40.1 weeks and went for a 2 mile walk to try to induce labor!! Do as much as you are comfortable with without being in pain

Answer

Just listen to your body! When you feel tired, rest. When you feel full of energy, go ahead and take that walk! Just be sure to rest when your body starts asking for rest.

Answer

Well, actually, walking is good for you IF you've been doing it your whole pregnancy. If you just started walking recently to help labor along then yes your SO is right and you're overdoing it. You should start slowly and build up. Take a day off instead of two big days in a row. BUT if you've been walking regularly your whole pregnancy then he's just being a worrywart.

Answer

I've been relaxing with a few walks. Now that I'm 37 weeks, I'm hoping to do some short walks every day to get this baby moving! :)

Answer

Walking is good for you and can help your body during labor.  Don't over do it, if you get tired stop and rest, and make sure you stay hydrated.  Enjoy your walks!  I did every day up until I went in to labor.
