A member asked:
Due to ic and emergent cerclage i'm on bedrest for 11 weeks already(31 weeks today).muscles have gone.does inactivity affect vaginal birth?

Hard to say: In my experience, women who stay in shape do better during labor and delivery, but many couch potatoes also do just fine and there are a lot of factors at work here. It is not like you had a good alternative. Reaching 31 weeks is already a huge success and a little bit longer is even better. Best of luck!
