Walking...?
I'm 4 cm dialated and was wondering I have heard about walking and castor oil. Ok so here is the question I have when I walk I cramp and sometimes contract do you walk throuhg them or set down?? thanks I wasn't sure what to do because I heard mixed things so I think the walking hting is going to be my best bet!
I would avoid the castor oil - it can cause problems physically for you and the baby (like the baby could have it's first bowel movement in utero and aspirate the meconium causing pneumonia). I walked like crazy at the end of my last two pregnancies - don't overdo it, but if you can walk through the contractions, you might just get things going.
How much walking will make adifference?
I'm overweight! I am 4'11 (basically 5ft) and i weigh close to 195lbs. i was on certian medications throughout the years - that i recently stopped taking- which caused me to gain A LOT of weight. Since i stopped taking the meds, i've lost 20lbs. I'm stuck now. I think the main problem is that I do not get enough exercies. I work at a childcare center, so im constantly moving/running with the kids ... and i park on the 7th floor of the parking garage at school JUST so that i can walk up the stairs when i go back to my car. I need more exercies, but its hard to find time. I want to start walking. I do not want to do weights quite yet because I do have A LOT of muscle. I'd like to loose some fat before doing anything else. I have 3 siblings that are basically my life, my responsibility. If i do go walking, they have to come...So we wouldnt be going all that fast. (It will probably be the kids who decide how fast) How many hours a week do you think we should spend walking? I should add..... i say how many hours a week, and not a day, becuase there are some days where i really can not walk. For example, most days during the week, i work from 6AM and as soon as i get out, i go to school until 9pm. Some days however, i have a lot of time (saturday and sunday i have all day....monday and wednesday i have 1/2 the day) So rather than aiming for "30 minutes a day" or "1 hour a day" I want to aim for "3 hours a week" or so. I'm not sure how much walking will show a sugnificant difference though. any tips/suggestions = fantastic! my diet is very good. I have always been a healthy eater... lots of fruits and veggies...always. Thats what i live off of. - Thats why I think its the exercise that im lacking. My eating cant possibly get any healthier. But thank you for the suggestions
Walking is a GREAT exercise! It's better on your painful knees than running, too. While walking at a slow pace is helpful, it is even better to walk briskly and move your arms at a brisk pace, too. You may not be able to do this for 20 minutes, or so, but try walking fast as long as you can, then slowing down, then walking fast, etc...until you can put in at least 20-30 minutes of brisk walking. You will work up a good sweat and will begin losing weight. I used to run, but my joints can't handle it anymore. Walking is a great exercises. If you have a friend who can do it with you, all the better. My little Chihuahua and I go out everyday. She had a hard time at first, but now out does me by a long shot! Also keep a DAILY log of what you've done...e.g. 2 minutes brisk, 2 minutes slow for 10 minutes total, etc. It will keep you trying to "break" your records, and will remind you to keep walking daily, or as often as you can...self-guilt is a great motivator. Good luck! If you keep to it, the pounds will come off!
How much walking should you doduring your first trimester ofpregnancy?
I am currently 10 weeks 2 days pregnant. My cousin invited me to the zoo this week but i'm afraid to go because I don't know if it will be too much walking. I know it's good to walk a lot while pregnant, but people have told me that walking too much is bad for the baby; but some people have told me you have to walk a lot. So I am very confused.
Walking is just fine. To be honest, walking a lot helps with labor also. Keeping yourself fit during pregnancy is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your baby. There are even fitness magazines out there just for pregnant women.
