He's goofy! Walk! The only reasons not to walk is if you are Hypertensive(have high blood pressure) or if the walking stimulates contractions(since you are only 31 wks.) Otherwise, you're right, walking is good for you. If it will make you or your husband feel better, ask your doctor first, just to be safe. Always "better safe than sorry!" KG
