Past your due date and still pregnant....
are you walking everyday..... not walking around your house.... really walking at a park/gym for a mile or more? Did you know labor will be faster/less stress on your body and you will go in to labor sooner if you are taking those walks?
So all you pregnant girls out there that are way over due.... step away from the nest and get your butts in gear and go walking!!

Re: Past your due date and still pregnant....
Let's try this again...
awesomeness!
I am just saying this worked for me.... I pushed three time and she was here.... she was 8 pounds 4 ounces too. I walked everyday my whole pregnancy and gained 20 pounds my whole pregnancy. I also had no complications what so ever during my whole pregnancy. Walking really works and when you do this everyday the positive out way everything to make sure and have a healthy pregnancy and less stress on the baby during delivery. Just saying ladies..... no need to completely freak out!
LMAO. How did I know something like this was coming.
LOL..... Just saying the truth here........... I also have no stretch marks what so ever!! Walking really is a miracle worker when pregnant!
)
LOL. Awesome.
I did 40 minutes on the elliptical machine everyday with DS and he was 9 days late. There is no scientific evidence to back up that walking will induce labor. I would've been late whether I sat on my ass or not.
Now walking once labor has started as a way to help it along. That is known to help.
::everyone is different dust::
You are a douchebag. We don't like you. You are cordially un-invited to BOTB. kthanksbye.
Oh and stretch marks are genetic. Perhaps it wouldn't kill you to read up on true medical studies before dishing out your OWTs.
Not everyone is the same. I did yoga most of this pregnancy and walked as much as I could with work, school, two SSs, and a life walking millions of miles everyday is not an option for most. You are now implying we needed to do it the whole time..it is a little late for that way to make us feel like we fail.
I only gained 30lbs and I do not think that is bad at all. I am totally comfortable with what I gained and what kind of shape I am in.
You were also like 19 when you gave birth or something right? Your body bounces back a lot better when you are young.
I was just pointing out why someone would do what they did. You know me I never get involved with the stuff on here and you but when you come one and say stuff like this it really pisses people off.
I know they are genetic...... and every woman in my family has stretch marks besides me..... THAT IS THE TRUTH! And out of all of them.... I am the only one that walked every single day of my pregnancy. Seriously walking is what makes the difference!!
Common Monkey. I think she's more knowledgable on the subject than your Dr. What are you thinking?
Maybe getting knocked up at age 18 made the difference. Ever think of that?
What did you do get out your voo doo doll and make a curse on me because I am stating the facts that I know.... hmmm I don't think so you evil witch!! ;o)
Dear lord please let this woman see the light and make her see she should not talk with such witch craft.
Pushing 3 times and the baby comes out = your vagina is enormous.
HTH. ?
I usually stay out of all of the drama on here, but this is just pissing me off. I am a nurse in a busy ER and spent 12 hours a day 3 days a week, walking my ass off. And yes I do have stretch marks, but that has nothing to do with walking, I've had them my whole life....they're genetic. And I've only gained about 30 lbs, which is not bad. My m/w has never mentioned that my weight was an issue.
I'm happy that you had such a perfect and textbook pregnancy and delivery thanks to all of your walking, but every pregnancy is different and I don't need to hear you tell me how perfect you are and how wrong I am because I am 41 weeks pregnant and still haven't delivered.
And just a small FYI....I took Bradley birth classes and learned that for women who are allowed to go into labor on their own....the average gestation is 41 weeks and 1 day. And Bradley includes walking everyday, along with other excercises to prepare your body for delivery.
I am not going to fight you over it if that is what you think that is what you think. You were also pretty young from what I remember so your skin is my elastic at a younger age. My friend that was 16 with her first didnt get any either and now at 25 she sure as hell did.
Anyways like I said I am comfortable with how fit I stayed and DH and I did do a lot of walking, bike riding, I did yoga, and played outside with the kids.
I really just touched down in here to make sure you understood why people do what they do. I read your posts about what people did and you seemed to not understand why people would do that and if you reread this whole thread you will see why. I think leaving blog comments is dumb I would never do such a thing because I am who I am but I can see why someone would do this.
It is pretty obvious this was posted after reading SPs flame worthy post.
Well said!
Wow, and my mom and all my sisters have curly hair and yet I don't. So it must have been the walking I did as a young kid, it couldn't possibly be genetics.
I rarely outright insult people on this board but you are an idiot.
I am not insulting any one....... I have never said anythong bad about any one of you.... i am just stating what all doctors say to do during pregnancy!!!
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE MINE.... there is no need to bring my age into this...... curse me to have awful pregnancy the 2nd time.... and what ever else ill was just said.
No where in this post have I said anything hurtful to any of you.... I stated what worked for me.... and wanted to give helpful advise to those of you pregnant. I am not bragging here nor saing my pregancy was better than any of yours.... I am just saying how walking was a wonderful thing for me and what the out comes were.... even if genetic play a role, they didn't play with me because I honestly believe the walking in the fresh air, and the lack of sugar I ate during pregnancy really worked wonderful for me.

I am sorry if any of you took this post in the worng way because i am not offending anyone..... just stating what happened and worked great for me and what doctors have told me!!
