Are you trying to go into labor? Slow down. It will be better if you wait to meet your baby girl in a few more weeks.
I walked less than that then my husband and I ya know... Well I was only a week from my due date and I WAS trying to go into labor and it seemed to work.
If you have her to early she probably won't get to go home with you until the hospital thinks she's ready.
Be careful. And best wishes.

I had tons of cramping in my last trimesters, all three times, and even before. It doesn't necessarily mean anything in particular, other than you're probably overdoing it and putting strain on yourself and possibly your baby. I also lost my mucus plug a week and a half before my daughter (3rd baby) was born. That didn't mean much either. Honey, slow down a little!
If this is your first baby, they could take a while, trust me. I was my mom's first, and I was three weeks late. Of course, OBs these days don't generally let you go that long, but since you're only 35 weeks now, you could have a ways to go. I remember with my first, I couldn't wait, and my doc recommended all these natural labor inducers. My next two OBGYNs informed me that there is no such thing. There's no harm in trying, as long as you're not putting undue strain on your body and baby, but there's no evidence anything short of chemical inducement - including walking - will expedite your daughter's birth. And you really don't want her out until she's ready. Relax, and enjoy the miracle of pregnancy. When your HEALTHY baby girl lies gurgling in your arms, you'll be glad you were patient.

I would get in to see your doctor right away to make sure you aren't in pre-term labor. You really want your baby to stay in as long as possible, so she will be healthy. Like the other ladies have said, don't hurry!! It's better to come home with a healthy baby than have to leave your baby because she wasn't ready to be born yet. The few weeks you feel miserable are well worth it in the long run. Put your child's health above your own discomfort! Hang in there, you are almost there!
Well I had a premie, he was fine but its scary until the baby comes out you will not know if its going to be ok. Stop rushing it, I had Clayton 4 weeks early after 3 months of bed rest, I actualy felt cheated that I had him so early I wished I would have been able to feel him move around inside a bit longer. I am blessed he was fine at birth though. Don't be in such a hurry!!
