Any exercises I should start before labor? Due in 1.5 weeks

Alice&Rabbit · October 2015

I'm wondering if there's any exercises I could be doing to prep me for labor? I've been doing Kegals but I'm wondering if I should be doing any other lower body work I.E leg workouts? Yoga? Stretches?
Thanks! :-?

I've been walking two miles a day since I started maternity leave. I was pretty active at my job and all I do at home is sit around if I'm not making a point to move. It takes me an hour or more to walk that much, but I figure it is good to stay in shape. Walking can help during contractions and labor, too.
