When to start walking during pregnancy third trimester?
Im 30 weeks and was a bit lazy with walking till now, kamar pain bhi tha. now i feel i should start but not sure if its safe this late or how much. anyone walking in their last trimester?
When I had gestational diabetes, walking after meals was a must for me to keep my sugars down in the third trimester. I used to do a gentle 15-minute walk inside my house after lunch and dinner. Just make sure you check with your doctor if it's safe for you.
You can continue walking throughout your third trimester, but please listen to your body. Don't overexert yourself, and if you feel any tightness or pain in your tummy, stop immediately and rest. Keep your doctor informed about your routine.
I walked daily throughout my third trimester, starting from the 7th month right up to my delivery day! It really helped me have a smooth normal delivery. Start with a slow 15-20 minute walk and don't push yourself too hard.
Beta, gentle walking in the morning and evening is very good for active labor. Don't walk too fast or on uneven roads. Drink a glass of warm milk with a little ghee or saffron before sleeping to keep your strength up.
Actually yaar, you can walk till the very end if your pregnancy is uncomplicated. I used to walk in my society park every evening during my 8th and 9th month. It really helped with the back stiffness, just wear comfortable shoes!
