Staying active … is that a way to prepare your body for birth? There’s a “yes” and a “no” to that.
- YES: Staying active protects your heart in pregnancy because you have 50% more blood flowing in your body so staying active helps your heart to stay strong.
- NO Staying active has ZERO to do with how you prepare your physical, pregnant body to let out a big object with a head the size of a grapefruit.
