Is anyone still doing a lot of walking/exercise?

Question

Hi! I always walk to work, its a mile there and a mile back so 2 miles walking per day. I’ve done it to keep in shape since before getting pregnant and done it throughout, my husband is now telling me I should be driving to work now that I’m 32 weeks pregnant but I enjoy walking! Is anyone else still exercising/walking? I do take it easy and at a slow pace but my husband is worried it will send me into early labour 🙈xx

Answer

It’s recommended that you keep active all the way through your pregnancy.  I was still doing 5k walks with our 2 dogs right to the end.  Was almost 2 weeks overdue and still went walking after my water broke as I wasn’t getting contractions.

Answer

I go to the gym regularly and take high intensity interval training classes still. I’ll be 30 wks on Saturday. A girl in my HITT classes, also a runner and she still went 6 days over due with her 3rd baby. So I don’t think it’ll put you into early labor

Answer

If you’ve always trained then you’re fine but don’t start an exercise or routine you never did prior to pregnancy. 
You know your body. If you don’t feel right, stop.

Answer

I hiked 5 miles when I was 36 weeks pregnant. I had a super fast labor and delivery and attribute it to being active.

Answer

I'm still doing weights at the gym 2-3 times a week @35 weeks. Feeling great just cant squat as low 🤣

Answer

I was doing 45-60 min walks nightly plus another 15-30 minutes during work at a fast pace. My baby was born at 41 weeks. I wouldnt worry about it starting labor at all.
