i’ve been walking a lot in hopes to make my labor easier but what i’ve been mistaking for cramps turned out to be the early signs of contractions and i need to back off my walking before i pop nicholas out at 24wks or put myself on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy. pretty scary and so i’m backing off. and walking doesn’t reduce labor pains, but it helps you to better endure labor. woot woot for high risk. blergh.
