walking = pre-term labor?

Question

FTM. I’ve been trying to work baby boy head down and prepare my body for labor, so I’ve been using my yoga ball since about 28 weeks and I turned 30 weeks on Monday so I’ve added walking two laps around my neighborhood in the evening. 
Today I’ve been cramping a bit and I’m nervous I have put myself at risk for pre-term labor. Is walking ok this soon or should I hang it up until I am further along?

Answer

I’ve been getting BH/cramps after every walk. It’s totally normal, just put your feet up and drink some water. 
My dr told me it’s near impossible for exercise yourself into pre-term labor.

Answer

Also, make sure you're drinking plenty of water that can make you crampy as well.

Answer

Nooo. I walked 14 hours straight basically as an RN 3 days a week lol and didn’t deliver until 37 weeks

Answer

I’ve been walking 3-5 miles everyday during my pregnancy and I’m currently 34 weeks. You should be fine 😀

Answer

I walked my dog around my block every morning and then took a 2 mile walk at the dog park every evening. 
The walking was good for both of us and I think my labor was easier because of the constant activity.

Answer

You can walk throughout your entire pregnancy, it’s not going to spring you into labor unless your body is ready. You’re probably getting Braxton hicks so just make sure you’re staying hydrated

Answer

It’s probably just Braxton hicks. It happens to me when I walk or stand a ton. It’s been happening since 23 weeks.
