Squats for an easier birth?

Question

I've heard that doing squats everyday while pregnant can make for an easier/faster labor and delivery. Does anyone have any first hand experience or knowledge of this? Tia

Answer

i was doing sumo squats (with weight) up until the day before I gave birth. I had an easy unmedicated birth that only took two hours in the hospital with pretty gradual contraction onset at home

Answer

They say walking and squats and sex helps with easier birth idk how true it is.

Answer

I did not do squats during any of my pregnancies, but I did walk a lot at the end of each of them. All 3 births were pretty different, but all 3 were natural and in the easy range: 3-7 hours of labor each time, no complications, no medication.
