Walking?

[Faith1987]

Before I got pregnant I did not walk. Now I'm 33 weeks I actually enjoy it. It relieves stress and I feel better on a daily. I was walking last night and someone told me if I didn't walk before I was pregnant then it's not healthy to walk after I'm pregnant and especially so late in the pregnancy. Does anyone know What issues this could cause to me or baby?

Thanks ladies. I thought it was healthy but wanted to make sure. I'll keep on walking. Goodness knows right now I could use the stress relief: -)

That person was either a) trying to scare you or b) just an idiot. Walking is completely healthy during pregnancy and they encourage it to help keep your weight from skyrocketing.... Doctors will tell you as far as physical activity goes not to try something new that is rigorous... But most, if you did it before,  are fine (just check with the doctor first)... Walking helps prepare your body for labor, helps move baby further down the birth canal,  and helps you dilate towards the end. Keep on walking mama... labor will be easier

People think they know everything. Walking is completely healthy.... for you and baby. It helps with labor. And also helps you get healthy.

Walking is awesome works great on us while pregnant.  For  us and baby inside. It will also help you while in labor I heard it makes labor faster and easier

It won't cause issues. That person didn't know what they were talking about. Walking is low-stress, low-impact, and very good for you whether you did it before or not. Keep on moving, mama.
