Moms who went into labor before 40 weeks were you exercising? If so, how often?

Question

This is my 4th baby and overall wanting to get in better shape for the next baby. 
Simply curious if it helps short pregnancy length.

Answer

Wasn't exercising but working two jobs and walking over 10,000 steps a day. Does that count?

Answer

I didn't workout AT ALL for any of my pregnancies & this is how it went: 
1st- went into labor at 39+6, gave birth on due date.
2nd- went into labor & had baby at 40+3 weeks.
3rd- went into labor & had baby at 38 weeks.
4th-went into labor & had baby at 39 weeks.

Answer

I didn’t exercise ever, but was on my feet all shift at my cna job.

Answer

I ran a few days a week until 34/35 weeks with my second, then it became uncomfortable so I kept walking after that. Walked over 20 miles the week before I started early labor, which was right on my due date. I got stuck in early labor for 4-5 days and had him at 40+5 by VBAC.
Even my first was a CS for breech at 39+2 weeks and I ran well into third trimester with him too. I never even experienced a Braxton-Hicks. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I know many other women who have run until the day they give birth (good for them 😅) and go past their due date! So I definitely don’t think it’s a guarantee. 🙂

Answer

I exercised 3-4 times per week and walked over 10 miles every day at work with both of my pregnancies. Went to 41 weeks with my first and was voluntarily induced at 40 weeks with my second.

Answer

Worked as an RN. Had my first at 37weeks and second at 37w6d

Answer

I have 4 as well. My first baby I worked out 5 days a week and went into labor exactly 40 weeks. My second and third baby I was walking a ton and working out every day... Both times I went into labor at 42 weeks the day before I was set to be induced. My last, I did not work out at all! Not even a tiny bit and I went into labor at 38 weeks lol

Answer

I exercised 4-5 days per week, had a 6 pack, and was a fitness coach at the time I got pregnant. Baby had to get induced at 41 weeks.

Answer

Not working out but I was still working (walking /standing all day and packing/ lifting boxes of fruits and vegetables mostly squash and apples)
