is it true that the more active you are the easier your labor is?

Well thats what they say, but my labors were different, and I was very active during my pregnancies......sorry, but I do believe there are no easy labors. My daughter was nice steady labor for 15 hours, and it was gradual, actually my easiest labor....my boys....geezzzzzzz.....talk about fast and furious....Gabe took 35 minutes of labor and he was out, Luke was 25 minutes and he was out. And I would have taken the 15 hours over those minutes any day. I was started with my boys though, and if anyone out there has a choice, I would recommend not getting started.

Some studies have shown that exercise can reduce the length of labor, shorten the recovery time, and even help with postpartum weight management. Now I don't know if I personally agree with them but they do exisist. I think the postpartum weight management would be true because you are already in a exercise routine & I would assume it would continue after birth. Exercise is definitely good for both mommy and baby but keep in mind that there are things that are not good. Also if you did not exercise before pregnancy, don't go overboard now. Swimming is probably one of the best ways to exercise while pregnant, being in the water takes the pressure off.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
