WHY you should exercise during pregnancy
Our Baby girl didn't come naturally, but she only needed a little bit of help. We checked into the hospital on 10/14/15 at 7:30am. After getting all the initial tests done and everything figured out they gave me a cervical ripening pill at around noon. Around 6pm they put in a cervical balloon. I started labor following that at 11:30pm. They gave me one dose of pitocin and I couldn't handle it so they turned it off. At 3:30am they took the balloon out and I was dilated to 6cm. At 4:15 I called the nurse because I felt funny. She came in at 4:30 and I was 10cm dilated, fully effaced and my water had broke. My doctor got to the hospital and I started pushing at 5:19. At 5:40am on 10/15/15 our precious angel arrived by vaginal delivery after only pushing for 21 minutes. My doctor and all the nurses were totally impressed because this was my first child. I truly believe it was an easy quick birth because I exercised RELIGIOUSLY my entire pregnancy. I didn't cut back, slowdown or any of that until 28 weeks when my body just couldn't handle the strenuous pressure anymore. When I slowed down, I continued to walk 3+ miles a day. She came fast and furious and now 6 days postpartum we're already going on short walks, sleeping regularly, breastfeeding easily, and happy as can be.
