For normal delivery the mother should be fit to cope with the delivery. At the time of delivery many women have great problem because many of them are not fit which increases complications and normal delivery is not possible also it could prove fatal for mother and child.

Five fitness tips:-Here are the five fitness tips for pregnant women, which would help them to remain fit and healthy.

First, eat food which is rich in protein, vitamin and minerals so that during pregnancy you are healthy and by eating such a diet will help in healthy growth of baby in your womb as well as help in normal delivery.
Second, always take light walk daily especially after eating food so that legs don't get swollen due to sitting. Many pregnant women have problem of leg swelling in later stage of pregnancy, to avoid this one needs to walk daily from initial stage of pregnancy to keep fit.
Third, doing yoga during pregnancy helps a lot because it helps in relaxing mind and body and in turn leads to normal pregnancy.
Fourth, remain happy and keep laughing so that it keeps you mentally fit and it has positive effect on the baby. This will also help in normal delivery.
Fifth, on a lighter note, all women are very happy when they shop and by shopping a pregnant woman will get good exercise physically as well as mentally. So go shopping.

What a great post! You are so right, a lot of the pain and discomfort around childbirth could be eased a lot if a pregnant woman had maintained a standard for fitness throughout the pregnancy. There are many different types of fitness classes for pregnant women to attend and of course millions of books written on the subject.

Quite apart from the labour, the inactive period of labour lying around for hours can take its toll and will be a lot easier to cope with if a woman is fit in the first place.

Yes amanda their is a very good point to discuss about it because if a woman doesn't care for her health during pregnancy it will create so much problems and discomforts for her so a pregnant woman must care for her health during this situation.

It is interesting when you think that in the past women working in the fields used to go behind a bush and have a baby then get back to work. Obviously in fact and mother mortality was higher in those days but I think that the fact that they were already fit because they had to work while they were pregnant must have helped.

As we have said there are always classes begin held for pregnant ladies and even exercise videos if a class does not appeal. I think that get 'birth fit' will definitely help to make the experience a more joyous one than if a lady has no fitness at all!
