Walking to bring on labor???????

Question

I am due on monday. My baby has dropped long time ago. I have so much pressure that it hurts when I walk even as close as to my mailbox. My question is, Is walking a way to bring on labor or does it just help with the process of helping the baby to drop? I need something to help to bring on labor. Any ideas?? Thanks

Answer 1

I was an avid walker during pregnancy and had my first at 38 weeks and my second at 37 weeks.  Both happy and healthy!  I think it works.

Answer 2

  Try some good spicey food ,my sister swears by it. Well that and s*x.

Answer 3

I think it does, I walked 2 miles a day with both my sons once my doctor told me I was dilated and effaced, I definitely think it helped the process along!  Good luck!

Answer 4

i got on the trampoline and did lots of walking, i will say that it deffinatly helps labour. s*x doggy style will help....i lost my plug this way..and lots of walking helps to move baby down puts pressure on your water bag.

good luck x

Answer 5

Yes, walking helps a lot. I was preggo with my 1st son and I went to the mall and shopped with one of my friends. Mind u the same morning my muccus plug came out. So I was at the mall for at least 2 hours before I went home and waited for my mom to come and pick me up. When she came to pick me up I was going in the bank and my water broke. So do a lot of walking that really helps. I also did a lot of house work went I went in labor with my daughter. My son came at 38 weeks and my daughter came at 37 weeks. So go for it. They also say to drink a glass of red wine and that will bring labor on also. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

walking helps open your pelvis to let baby drop and when baby drops water breaks and that can bring on labor. also s*x with hubby can bring on labor sperm has a certain effect on the cervix to thin or something along those lines.  just dont stress it too much though the baby will come when he/she wants to come.
