Pelvic floor exercises that promote better muscle tone, which can aid in the birth of the baby, are called:
  1. Kegels
  2. Isometrics
  3. Braxton Hicks
  4. Aerobics
Explanation
Answer: A - Pelvic floor exercises are sometimes referred to as Kegel exercises. The pelvic floor muscles support all of the internal organs. A woman can think of pelvic floor exercises as a way to improve good internal posture. Getting the pelvic floor into shape during pregnancy can aid in second stage of labor as well as in healing after birth. Isometric exercises use muscles against each other or an object. Braxton Hicks are non-progressing contractions throughout pregnancy. Aerobics are exercises to strengthen the heart and lungs.
