It's a little crazy, but I am glad she is so dedicated!

One mile isn't actually that far. And in early labor, she was pretty safe.

I walked about 6 miles during the early stages of my labor (other folks get the "nesting instict" and clean their houses, I got the "walk away!" instinct and walked through the neighborhood until I was contentedly tired... which in retrospect was kind of stupid. I should have walked around a track instead).

It's amusing from a biker's standpoint, but really not that unusual for women in labor to engage in some kind of high-metabolic activity. It really does help and makes the whole process easier.

Biking is just as valid as walking or house-cleaning.

Do whatever works, ladies!

I walked during my labor (for a couple hours) but i stopped when I had a contraction. Wouldn't want to be on a bike for that!
(What was wrong with walking in your neighborhood? that's what i did, i wasn't close to a track)

she was 8 mm along, i wouldn't have thought that was early labor!

I was very far from home, and no-one knew where I was or even that I was in labor. (this was before cell-phones were invented)

OH. I was walking with my sister, more or less just going around the block so i was never far from home. Yes, long before cellphones..

BC, before cell phones.
