A member asked:

What to do if i'm 37 weeks pregnant and want to prepare my body for labor. what are some ways i can do this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rest up: At 37 weeks the best thing to do is rest and wait. Hopefully you have been following a healthy eating and exercise plan throughout your pregnancy as that is one of the best ways to be prepared physically.
