A member asked:
Can going on walks while 35 weeks pregnant cause uterine tetany and deprive the baby of oxygen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Uterine tetany is usually related to Oxytocin administered to augment labor after labor induction. This must be done in the hospital where they can administer Magnesium sulfate to reverse it, if needed, and monitor the well-being of the baby. Abruptio placentae and other rare metabolic conditions. There have been ruled out already, I presume. Actually walking will increase blood flow.
