Longer pregnancy with physical activity
Moderate physical activity during pregnancy is associated with longer pregnancies, according to a new study from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). Pregnant women who were physically active 3-5 times a week had a 26 per cent reduced risk of premature birth. Previously, activity and exercise in the latter part of pregnancy were believed to initiate birth.
