Walking A Lot: Induce Labor

Walking A Lot: Induce Labor

Is it true that if you walk too much in your third trimester you can Induce Labor?

Labor Induce Lot Walking

According to my doctor this is helpful to induce labor but more so it just helps keep mummy healthy and fit for a big hard push.

There is only one sure fire method to help mommy along at the end that my doctor and my wifes obstetrician both recommended, it more was adult time! It stirs up the chemicals in her body and that will help start the chain reaction that is required. We were at the obstetrician's the day before our first was born and my wife had just started dilating. The obstetrician told my wife in front of me to go and hit the sheets and that the birth would be with in 24 hours. the second choice was go and and wait for how ever long it takes at the hospital! 12 hours later all was said and done. Same happened with the second one so I think they might have something here.

What a terrible sacrifice your doctor was requesting of you eh Krakyn?

I think the question is more about if you walk too much it will cause the labor to come into play. I believe that is a myth. Walking does help when labor has started or Krakyn's method , but walking in itself will not induce labor.

That's right JB, it will only have any effect if labor has already started.
Just going for long walks in the 3rd trimester will not bring on labor..my Hubby and I walked miles each evening when I was heavily pregnant, it definitely didn't bring on labor

I was also told what Krakyn was told, also eating curry is supposed to have the same effect, which many believe works well also.

Ok sorry about that I thought the question pertained to you are at due date and trying to have the baby. I concur JB walking will not induce early or premature labor.

I had not heard of the Curry DianeC that is interesting.
