Not as fit this time around - will it be a problem?
I'm a bit worried that my fitness levels will stop me from having another drug free birth. DD was posterior and it was a long labour, but I managed to do it drug free. But from about 20weeks with that pg, I had been doing prenatal yoga and walking 3-4 times a week. This time around, we may go for a walk 2-3 times a week, but thats about it. I keep meaning to get along to yoga, but things keep coming up. So I'm a bit worried about how I'll cope this time. I'm hoping that DD being posterior was a one-off, but I know that there's a chance that its the shape of my pelvis that may spin them the wrong way, so I'm gearing myself up for another posterior birth (preparing myself for the worst in a way I suppose). Will my lack of fitness make it worse this time? Should I get to yoga asap and do it for the 14 weeks I have left? I feel that the yoga helped last time, but does it really make a physical difference or is it merely psychological?
Sorry for the rambling...i'm suffering from a severe ability to articulate myself atm! I hope that someone can make some sense of this and respond!
