Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 28 years old. The day of delivery is approaching, and I don't want a cesarean section. How many steps should a pregnant woman take daily to facilitate a natural birth?Doctor's answer:
In the late stages of pregnancy, many activities can be done to facilitate the baby's natural delivery. The following are some of the activities that can generally be performed.Second is walking. Walking for 30 minutes in the morning and evening each day helps stretch the pelvic joint ligaments, making it easier and faster to open the birth canal during delivery.
The second activity is walking up and down stairs. If your physical condition allows, walking up and down stairs frequently helps the baby's head engage higher. The better the baby's head engages, the higher the chances of a natural delivery for the mother.
The third activity is learning breathing techniques under the guidance of a doctor, which helps relax during delivery and use abdominal pressure effectively, significantly increasing the likelihood of a natural delivery.
