This too was to strengthen and tone my innards, preparing them for this event. In addition, I continued to take my pre-natals, as I had throughout the pregnancy. Preparing My Body Just about every day, I walked about 2 miles. I also worked, believe it or not, right up until a week before my due date. I am not sure I would recommend working up to your due date as it can be very tiring, but being the dedicated teacher that I was, I was determined to see my students through as much of the school semester as I was able to.
Rest is of utmost importance.
I got into a regular routine of doing yoga. The tape I used was wonderful. I felt as though my mind, body and soul were being fed all at the same time, not to mention feeling that it really helped connect me to the life that existed within. I was determined to go through this thing drug-free. No epidurals, no narcotics, no nothing.
