Does exercise make it easier to have a faster natural birth?

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 29 years old. The day of delivery is approaching, and she is very nervous. She asks if people who exercise regularly tend to have faster vaginal deliveries.

Doctor's answer:

Yes, it is important to minimize intense exercise during the late stages of pregnancy to avoid another preterm labor. Appropriate physical activities such as prenatal exercises, sufficient ice skating, and walking can be implemented. It is recommended that patients should pay attention not to be picky about food in daily life. In addition to consuming animal protein-rich foods like meat, eggs, and poultry, it is advisable to eat more foods rich in fat and carbohydrates, as well as to consume appropriate amounts of soy products, vegetables, and fruits.
