Patient's question:
I am more than 37 weeks pregnant and want to have a natural birth. I've heard that children born through natural birth have much better immunity compared to those born via C-section. I'm a bit scared, afraid I might not be able to give birth. I want to ask if pregnant women should exercise more after 37 weeks?Doctor's answer:
If you want to have a natural birth, as you get closer to giving birth, you should have your doctor evaluate you. This includes assessing the size of the fetus, whether there are any other situations, the maturity of the cervix, and more. They will also assess the progress of labor to determine if a natural birth is possible. Currently, you just need to go to the hospital once a week for prenatal check-ups and pay attention to the results of the examinations. There is no need for additional exercise. You just need to maintain a regular routine according to your usual schedule. It is necessary to take appropriate walks.
