i'm 7 months pregnant and haven't really been excercising since i was about 3 or 4 months..does it really help in labor or anything?

Labor and delivery is one of the most exhausting things that can happen to you....endurance is key to getting through it....to build up endurance it's a good idea to to endurance building exercises such as running, walking, or anything cardio workout related. I have also been told and read that exercise gets the baby ready for labor and delivery. They get a workout too! Their home for 9 months all of a sudden starts to constrict and push them out! Sometimes i think they have it harder then us!!! It won't hurt you to get out and at least walk 30 min a day...you'll be very happy u did. But check with the doc since you have been so sedentary for all this while before starting a new regime.
