Training in pregnant women: effects on fetal development and birth

Article Abstract:

Regular high-intensity exercise by healthy pregnant women may have no negative effects on labor, pregnancy complications, or the health of the newborn. Researchers assigned 42 health-conscious pregnant women to high-intensity or medium-intensity strength training and aerobic exercise six days each week throughout pregnancy. There were no differences in duration of labor, birth weight, or newborn health at birth between the two groups of women. Among women who gave birth to girls, high-intensity exercisers gained more weight during pregnancy and began labor earlier.

Receiver operating characteristic curves of ultrasonographic estimates of fetal weight for prediction of fetal growth restriction in prolonged pregnancies

Article Abstract:

Receiver operating characteristic curves of estimated fetal weights can be used to predict fetal growth restriction. Ultrasound scans can be used to estimate fetal weight. Fetal growth restriction can cause serious health problems in the newborn baby.
