Check out this excerpt from a meta-analysis that looked at over 3K pregnant women! "This systematic review and meta-analysis consolidate existing evidence, demonstrating that physical exercise is associated with an increased likelihood of normal vaginal delivery, a reduced rate of cesarean delivery, and a shorter first stage of labor." https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0326868&utm

Check out this excerpt from meta analysis published June 2024, "Resistance training can also increase the likelihood of a vaginal delivery, which is beneficial for both mother and baby. Concerning fetal health, resistance training increases uterine blood flow, decreases the risk of neonatal macrosomia, and improves cognitive function and metabolic health in childhood."
