I have a pregnancy workout tape, but it doesnt seem challenging enough to help me in labor. It does some kegals and ab exercises (that are safe for pregnant women), but other than that its just some yoga. I used to work out a lot, but not since several months before my pregnancy, so Im not in shape, but still the tapes arent challenging me enough to help me in labor, I think….any tips on what helped you?

p.s. I found out Im having a baby girl!!! <3
Oh..and this is my first baby
Congrats on the baby girl. If you weren’t working out before your pregnancy don’t start something that feels challenging right now. There are lots of things you can do that don’t feel painful while you are doing them that will help you in labor. My doctor told me to walk alot during pregnancy when I wasn’t having problems. I walked about 2miles a day. When I went into labor I had my baby in 6hrs which is pretty good for a first time mom. The doctor contributed it to me walking. Best wishes to you.
