Follow along with these 8 exercises to prepare your body for labor and delivery!

These exercises are designed to help mama and baby get into alignment before birth. Research has found that (for lowrisk, fullterm women), physical exercise can increase the odds of labor naturally starting and decrease induction, cesarean, and instrumental delivery rates.

Please note that you should only attempt to induce labor if your doctor or midwife has agreed you are ready (usually 37 weeks and beyond).
