Doing squats

Would it be ok to do squats at 39 weeks pregnancy? I don't want to sound like a grumpy pregnant woman but I would like for my baby to arrive already. I definitely dont want to go beyond my due date.

Squat and bounce on a yoga ball.  It's not as tough to do and still allows your pelvis and legs to spread in a natural way.  It even helped with my sciatic nerve issue.

I do lots of squats at work cause it hurts my belly too much to bend. Good to know it will actually help my pregnancy.

I wish I would of known that! Man my pelvis never opened due to a disease I have (it affects my bones and cartilage) I wonder if squares would have helped because I'm having hell with my hips and I'm 35 weeks with my third.
