can jumping jacks really make you go into labor??

LOL SILLY QUESTION I KNOW!

BUT my mom keeps begging me to do jumping jacks haha I don't want to in fear of hurting my baby, but was wondering what you ladies thought? Do you think that would work?

I haven't heard either way regarding jumping jacks, but I have heard to try walking sideways up and down stairs. (Be careful not to fall--use the hand-rail!)

i dont believe it would hurt her but i never heard of anyone doing it though haha.

If you have the energy for jumping jacks then go for it! It won't hurt baby at all, she's well cushioned in there.

I'll do some cheerleading for you from the sidelines.... lol!!

I have not heard of this but I know many ladies who have done a lot of walking and they said that it helped. I would maybe try to just keep moving around. Send out an eviction notice ASAP! lol

Anything to increase pressure on the cervix and make your waters break is worth a try - jumping jacks or a trampoline session works well! Good luck!

I'd do it but be careful that you don't do damage to your back or pelvic ligaments!!
