Is walking more than usual healthy? Im not trying to induce myself but my doctor told me to "just keep walking,be more active, bounce on exercise ball" and I'm 38 weeks so I know I dont have forever but I still have a safe 2 weeks before im really like okay let's go! I'm not dilated at all but she said I'm thinned out and baby dropped alot more but didnt give me a percentage on how effaced I am? I dont really want to self induce I'm very active as it is so idk if I feel the need to be more active? I read that any induction highers chance for c section and I'd love to atleast be 39 weeks before my little girl makes an entrance with my luck I'll be 42 weeks and induced but idk if I feel comfortable trying to get her to come even though I guess exercise is "natural" but idk:/ did you guys do alot of walking and exercise at the end? If so how many weeks were you when you did more than the usual? Do you think it helped the baby come? Like yes I want my baby to come but I don't want to feel like I self induced :/ I want her to come on her own and I usually listen to my doctor but idk i read it's not proven it helps start labor anyway? I'm just stressed lol

I walked 3 times a week for about an hour. I sat on an exercise ball about 80% of the day. Consider a natural induction if that is required, it doesn't up your csection risk at all but it adds 9-12 hrs to your "labor time" which i dont count since you can sleep through it pain free no contracting or anything.

I started walking a ton at the end. Probably starting at 37 weeks. It’s safe. Walking is good for you and baby will come when they’re ready.
