Any women walk alot to induce labor?

Question

I have heard of women walking like for an hour or more and than within the next day or couple of hours was in labor has this happened to any of you ?!?!?!!?! I am 39 weeks and want this baby out of me I walk every day for about 20 mins but maybe if I do a longer walk it will speed things up?

Answer 1

Have lots and lots of s*x! Seriously. lol  

Answer 2

Ok, this may sound weird and you might have already heard this, but orgasms induce labor. Also, i believe they say s*x is good close to birth because it helps open you up. I watched comcast on demand last night. try it out!

Answer 3

i walked and walked and walked it didn't work for me but they do say it helps even with labor

Answer 4

my doctor and the nurses in the labor hall told me that walking does not induce labor, that all it does is make the contractions or braxton hicks alot worse.

they told me to take it easy and not listen to everything i hear.

that when people claim it has induced their labor it is pure coincidence.

the only thing that is proven to work s*x.

Answer 5

I walked multiple times a day for 30-60 minutes at a time and still went past my due date. Remember due dates are just an "estimation" it doesn't necessarily mean much. 39 weeks, quite honestly, is pretty early.

You can walk and have plenty of s*x but if baby isn't ready he/she just isn't ready.  

Answer 6

Once the contractions started, I just walked and walked (a bit like Forrest Gump...) for several hours. I'm sure this quickened things up.

Answer 7

that is true and it can help induce later.. if your close take your husband and go for a walk.. my sister walked the mall for awhile she came home later that night she was in labor..  

Answer 8

It did not induce for me no matter how much I walked.

But there is chance it will.

s*x is the best way and easiest way :)

s***n contains prostaglandins, hormones which soften and ripen the cervix and when you have an o****m it creates oxytocin which starts contractions. .

Also helpful in combination is nipple simulation and a breast pumping.
