I was lazy the end of my pregnancy and my body didnt progress on its own and I had my labor go pretty quick even though I was induced I was told I could be in labor for over 20 hrs but they broke my water at 7am and I had my son at 2:38 with only 4 pushes.

if u can stay on the go then its fine. not all women can. i did with my first even with how sick i was but my 2nd and now 3rd i really cant. so if u can more power 2 u. i wish i had that energy. sum days i do alot most days i cant do shit. they say it would help but thats not necessarily true. i stayed super actice for my first and she was late and i was leaking a lil. they gave me a couple days n nuttin. wasnt even close. i had to have a csection. i walked so long the night before. danced in my room and had sex. nuttin ever helped. i didnt eve. have a car back then so i went alot of places walking.

My friend worked out daily before she got pregnant, running 5+ miles a day.. Once she got pregnant she quit working it as much, but stayed in the gym walking at least 3 miles up until the night before she was induced. As long as you know your limits and don't push/strain yourself you are fine!

I would be careful with picking up heavy things . For me picking up heavy things made my back and stomach hurt . My boyfriend would only let me carry in the bread 😅😅😅

For me up until the last two weeks I would walk around and continued life like normal . If you feel like you want to go walking or go places it's fine . Just don't push your self to do something your body doesn't feel up to .

@ktwins188, I'll try not too. My feet can't take a break from swelling

honestly since how far u are dont over do it girl

@ktwins188, yeah. I just hope I'm prepared for the unexpected!

i know ladies that work out and left weights being pregnant

well I did that but just know your its time not to do it don't over do it all the time of

@ktwins188, so how about staying on the go? cleaning my car , picking up 24 packs of water, etc

i walked all my pregnancy

walki g does make labor easy lmfao

opp mess up

@ktwins188, you said not walking makes labor easy?

not walking makes labor easy

Like most people said, it varies. So many factors with labour....my labours have all been very difficult and my hardest one was with my second when I worked on my feet 12 hours a day...

I worked out in the gym, did all my Army training, and worked as a lab tech up until my birth and I still ended up having a c-section due to my body not progressing after 26 hours of natural labor (no epidural: sometimes an epidural can cause your body to stop progressing). being active didn't do anything for me

My baby was three weeks early though.

To me it didn't matter. I was always on the go. I was in Labor for 27 hrs.

@edomke, hopefully my labor and delivery will be as smooth as yours lol

Well if it makes you feel better they say statistically you naturally go into labor at night. My water broke at 11 and I have my son ten minutes before 6 am lol

@zachsbabygurl, Oh okay! Thanks.

the more active you are the easier it will be but as well studies show that the less active it can also be easier just depends on the person

@edomke, I work full time 9am to 5pm Monday -Friday. Then I get home clean dishes, wash laundry etc Don't get to rest til 10pm some nights. I get at least 8 hrs of sleep everyday. I'm so nervous. I don't where I'm going to be at when my water breaks etc haha

I believe it does. Some people would disagree but I'm a stylist and worked a lot and was always moving around. He came two weeks early and my labor was only six hours
