Hi,
Thanks for the query under health care magic platform.
I understand your concern.
Normal delivery needs good uterine contractions/ a positive attitude of mother/ a strong flexible & stretchable body & size of fetal head& body optimum to pass through pelvis & it's out let.
Yes, increase in weight affects stretchability & flexibility of body .. so does affect course of normal delivery.
* there are many more things a lady can do to facilitate normal delivery. It needs continuous practice from 4th month of pregnancy. You being already in 10th month of pregnancy.. you acn do only the things advised below .
- Try to reduce weight by regular walks as advised by your doctor./ Learn pregnancy yoga under expert guidance .
- Learn respiratory exercise to have good management of labor pains.
- Continue walking during early labor pains ( 10 minutes in every hour.)
- Bear down while holding breath out in exhalation position.. this helps easy decent of baby.
- Follow doctor's instructions properly.
Thanks.
