True or False? Just Curious

Hey ladies, Im currently 18wk pregnant and I was just wondering is it true that staying active such as exercise, taking yoga or dance classes could help with an easier delivery???

Yes, it will help with your endurance and cardio. Proven fact. Doing kegels helps too! If you've done anything in the past and liked it then do it as long as your MD approves. I laughed through my entire prenatal yoga, but thats just me. If you can keep a conversation going without being winded while doing the exercise its ok. No nos are ab working, twisting, or jumping. Walking believe it or not is the best form of cardio for pregnant women. I walk  up my hill everyday, and it gets harder every week. Exercise keeps baby healthy too as long as its in moderation (30 min a day).
