Walking more in late pregnancy can promote better entry of the fetus into the pelvis, which is helpful for a normal delivery, but the exercise should be appropriate and not strenuous.
In normal labor, the exposed part of the fetus needs to enter the pelvis. The first part of the baby to come out during labor is the head or the buttocks. The activity of the pregnant woman in late pregnancy also enables the fetus to move appropriately, and when the pregnant woman walks, it can promote the fetus’s prenatal part to enter the pelvis along the birth canal faster, which promotes a smooth labor.
Therefore, women can move appropriately during late pregnancy, but they should not overwork to prevent accidental uterine bleeding and other phenomena. When labor is imminent, the doctor will assess the size of the fetus and the woman’s pelvis to determine the mode of delivery.
