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
