Can anyone tell me how much treadmill walking is safe during pregnancy?

Hi, I’m currently 8 months pregnant and I try to walk 3-4 times a week on the treadmill for about 20-30 minutes each time. I started walking years ago to try and help w/ some digestive issues I was having, and I used to walk and run everyday at a fast pace (fastest on my treadmill running was about 5-6 miles per hour). I’ve cut it down to light walking at only 2 miles per hour and like I said I now only walk 2 or 3 times a day. Is this ok? Or can I up my speed a little and should I start walking everyday? Anyone know if that would be safe? I recently had another docs appointment but forgot to ask my doctor about that. As far as I was told, my weight is normal for my 8 months and my blood sugar and other tests came out normal as well. Baby has a very good healthy heartbeat too. Thankfully. This being my first child I don’t want to do anything harmful. Thanks

Good for you! Unless you start to feel fatigued or contractions, walk on! Walking is the safest exercise at this point in pregnancy and may help you in labor and delivery later. Keep up the good work!
