Check out this video and see if this does not look like more fun than a “traditional” prenatal workout. Remember, if you are having fun you are more likely to stick with it.

Prenatal belly dancing is also an excellent exercise during early labor to help move your baby into position, relax and energize you for the coming event.

Video: Gestational Diabetes

Natural Pregnancy — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:41:23 +0000

This video is a brief introduction to Gestational Diabetes. Gestational Diabetes is a condition affecting roughly 5% of pregnant women. It is diagnosed by testing your urine for sugar after a glucose challenge test. One of the risks of Gestational Diabetes is that a woman will have a larger than average baby which OBs will often tell you necessitates a cesarean. This is usually nonsense. If they get you off your back and in a birthing position that makes sense for birth, such as squatting or all fours, then your pelvis will open up 30% more, allowing even a larger baby to pass through just fine. The best plan is to do your best to prevent Gestational Diabetes with daily exercise and excellent prenatal nutrition.
