Did staying active help induce labor?

Question

I’m 36 weeks and very active, my fiancé is constantly telling me to take it down a notch but I simply can’t. There’s so much to do. I carried my twins to 38 weeks and had to be induced, but with that pregnancy I just laid around and did nothing in my final weeks. Do you think staying so active will help induce labor? Obviously don’t want the baby to come quite yet, but I also hope she’s not over due

Answer

Staying active will help your body go into labor only if it’s ready or you’re at risk for preterm labor. If your body isn’t ready for labor being active won’t affect that.

Answer

Nope. I was certain I would go into labor before my due date of May 6th (2021). I was active all through my pregnancy and didn't go into labor until 40 weeks 5 days with my first. Like someone else commented, babies come when they mean to! 
I was trying every natural remedy out there to induce labor and nothing worked haha it was when I gave up that he decided it was time. 🤣 
I would LOVE to have my second by his due date of November 5th but, I have no expectations this time hahah.

Answer

I’m 36 weeks and 3-4 cm dilated. I’m not a very active person. I’ve been having lots of braxton hicks and cramps. My doctor told me to take it easy until I’m 37 weeks bc she doesn’t want me going into labor before then. She also said she thinks once I go into labor that itll be fast. I was induced with my first, so I’m interested How a spontaneous labor will go lol

Answer

I don’t think you have to take it down, babies come when they’re ready to-
I started LATE pre-term laboring at 35wks gestation so my OB gave me the right away to start laboring yoga positions, laboring exercises, even allowing me to start pumping colostrum for the benefits of contracting:
Your body, your choice.
