STOP WALKING RIGHT NOW!!!

in April 2013 Moms

I posed this in the thread below about sex but I feel I should share it for more people to see:

 I have been KILLING myself walking every night, having contractions while walking and being beyond exhausted afterwards all for my doctor to tell me walking will not put you into labor. If you are in labor already it will help speed it up but it does nothing for you while you are dilated or just close to your due date.

It was like a dagger through my heart since I had been making such an effort to walk every night the past 5 weeks

So all you mamas walking like I was - go home, put your feet up and relax. I know I am done walking thats for sure

    I don't know...I wouldn't stop walking cold turkey, but maybe just do it every other day or three times a week instead?

    Walking has really helped me out. I mean, I'm not in labor (I don't think), and it is murder on my feet and ankles, but my ba

    If walking is causing you pain, don't do it.  But if not, by all means a little exercise is good for us & LO!  I would really like to walk more, but unless I can get a catheter, it ain't gonna happen.  I can't make it more than about

    I walk my dogs every morning and it is the only thing keeping me sane at this point. For the record, I have also had no swelling or constipation and I think I have the exercise to thank for it. True, walking will not bring on labor, but it has many other

    Mine could have just been a fluke, but whatever it was, it worked.  I also walked the dog every evening on my first pregnancy.  I had a MUCH more comfortable pregnancy that time. This time, we have a yard and just throw the ball for the dog and

    I wouldn't hurt myself over walking but walking in general is good for everyone. 

    Last time I went into labor while walking around the Mall of America. Now I'm totally sold on the whole walking getting this baby out of me thing whether it's

    walking sounds terrible right now, my pubic bone/groin have been so sore the past few days because she's just hanging out so low down there!

    I'm 37 weeks and still going to the gym regularly walking on the treadmill, using the stationary bike and/or cross trainer. I just couldn't see giving up my routine before the baby comes - and it's really helped me throughout. I'm feeling great - very lit

    It doesn't stop labor, that's for sure. 

    If it seriously pains you to walk, I can understand stopping, but walking is exercise and exercise is definitely a good thing.  In fact, many people believe exercising may lead to a fa
