Can I do squats to help things move along?. Do they actually help?.

@penelope127 Yes. Hopefully things start for you.. My son is too comfortable I haven't even had contractions yet.

@shay2beautiful, that’s really all you can do now is just stay active.

@penelope127 i went walking for a long time and nothing

@shay2beautiful, I picked up a yoga ball today, and that’s been helping. I started feeling contractions after 10 minutes. I want to get some sleep tonight, but I plan on bouncing on it again tomorrow.

@shay2beautiful it definitely did help and alot of walking.. the membrane sweep sent everything in overdrive though lol

@shay2beautiful Yeah just my take ask your doc though

@angelfoodcake Okay.

@shay2beautiful because it could cause body to go into stress that far along - most Drs recommend you keep doing what you doing - if you weren't working out prior too or during.... I wouldn't just bust out at 38 weeks trying to squat... Walking yes. Even non pregnant women who do squats for the first time or first time in a long time get sore afterwards. I just wouldn't - this is someone one who lifts , runs and yoga although I haven't the entire pregnancy.

@jordanrwilliams25 do you think it's what helped you?.

@angelfoodcake why not?.

If you've been doing them, yes, but if haven't I wouldn't

I did some daily until the day she came

I was squatting throughout my entire pregnancy with weights up until the day before I gave birth. I think it helped A lot when it came to pushing

@raerae2018 That's why i asked first.. I can do without the extra backaches

My midwife said they do, but I don't think they do anything to help personally other than give me backache
