walking is good for you. I don’t know how it would effect the baby.

Ive never heard that walking helps make baby stronger. But i definitely will help you in the delivery and recovery process. It will also help prevent gaining too much weight.

^You should ask your MIL, she seems to know things that none of us really know.

Wordz … Your walking makes baby’s posture in pelvis good and helps reduce risk of breach position and it strengthens your own muscles in the lower back, bladder and internal muscles… Your in-laws have given you a half truth.

I like to believe that mil must be right. When you are active, your blood gets more oxygen and your heart pumps the blood faster. That can only be good for baby’s health, as she is getting the same blood that you have.

Walking and staying active is good (can help having an easy labour and normal birth) but do not exhaust yourself. Also, avoid sitting, standing or staying in one posture for long periods of time.
