Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of antepartum exercise on labor pain duration and the mode of delivery. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 60 primigravida mothers recruited from the outpatient clinic of the obstetric department of Prakash hospital, Jaipur. Participants were randomly assigned to either an exercise group (n=30) or a control group (n=30). The exercise group received regular antepartum exercise sessions, consisting of aerobic exercises, stretching, and pelvic floor muscle training, tailored to their gestational age. The control group received standard prenatal care without any structured exercise intervention. Labor pain duration, assessed using a visual analog scale, and mode of delivery were recorded for all participants.
