Hello,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!

I really appreciate your concern. Activity like walking can be very helpful for delivery during this time. But proper rest with at least 8 hours sleep is necessary. You can have a nap of 1 hour in the afternoon also.

Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.

Thank you.

Best Regards.
Dr. Manan
