Walking to induce labor

Walking ever worked for anyone to induce labor? I walked today for an hour and a half up and down hills and through town. No contractions yet. It's been about 5 hours...I've had dull lower back pain on and off and a few sharp pains in my groin area...what do you think?

i have a friend who is 38 weeks and walks every day on the treadmill... and still hasnt done anything for her.

mostly it helps you get ready for labor

I walked all day today at the zoo and iam waiting my mom said she did that with me and had me next day but who knows I am having tightening and cramping and back pain but nothing getting stronger or closer together so im not rushing to labor and delivery Iam 80% effaced and 2 cm been like that for two weeks :-( I've noticed im more swollen on my face and I have had a low belly for 3 weeks hopefully those are good signs lets cross our fingers for labor pains in the am

Nothing for me   but I'm not dilated at all yet...I plan on going on another walk today, try throwing a few more hills in there. Guess we'll see what happens!

Hills r killer lol do u have like a yoga ball try bouncing on that or on edge of bed I did that n feel like that dropped my baby low and made me effaced and dilated maybe I think I give up I'll walk and bounce but will not think about labor anymore I feel like im going crazy

Yea I've been bouncing on my ball for weeks now...I did today for 2.5 hours straight...decided I was too cold to take a walk. Now I'm extremely crampy and gassy feeling...

I feel like I have to poo crampy stomach our bodies are preparing its exciting but wish we had a for sure sign besides water breaking :-)

I know!! This is getting miserable.

Nothing will work unless your body is ready.
Walking might help with labor though, so I've heard.
Good luck!

Thanks. I am starting to get irritated...I am having contractions and just when I think they'll start getting regular, they stop completely. Damn you false labor for getting my hopes up!! I know he'll come when he's ready, but I feel selfish because I keep getting my hopes up only to get them shot down...I am so impatient
