No, but it helps: Walking doesn't induce labor but it might help in bringing the fetus down and help stretch the cervix a bit.

Many people say so: I'm sure you will get more replies, but: this is certainly what i heard and so did my daughter. It's a natural way to prompt the natural process. I have no idea that it would overcome problems that might require intervention. Talk with your midwife, doula or obgyn for your specific situation. Best wishes!
