If it's her first with no others in tow, it's not really needed. I do know
I needed them at the very end just before labor. Say, last 2 weeks? I
could walk of course, but not 'fast' and any distance became somewhat hard
to manage. Has to do with how the hips adjust in the later stages (so I was
told).
