Just a thought. This is an interesting topic as was the length of labor topic and how it is affected by working out. My feelings are whether you go a few more days over the date or whether or not the labor last a little longer is over shadowed by how great one feels the entire nine months of pregnancy. My first four babies were really tough pregnancies because I gained so much weight and didn't move around much. Baby number five was a skip in the park and I know it was due to working out each day - just made me feel so wonderful, sometimes hardly even pregnant. The birth was amazingly easy too for which I'm thankful, although I can't say whether it was due to the exercise or not....but again, the effects of working out make for a much nicer pregnancy in general and I'm sure a healthier baby and mom.
Gotta look at the long term....and I appreciated all your comments too.
