A. Since you are aiming for a normal delivery and have an anterior placenta with a single loop of the cord around your baby’s neck, you should focus on safe exercises that encourage a healthy position for birth, maintain good fluid levels, and improve flexibility and strength. Safe Exercises for Normal Delivery Pelvic Tilts (Cat-Cow Stretch) – Helps relieve back pain and improves baby positioning. Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana) – Opens up the pelvis and strengthens thigh muscles. Squats – Strengthens pelvic floor muscles and helps baby descend. Walking – Keeps you active, improves circulation, and maintains amniotic fluid levels. Prenatal Yoga & Deep Breathing – Helps relax pelvic muscles and promotes better oxygen flow. Hip Circles on a Birthing Ball – Encourages optimal fetal positioning and relieves discomfort. Side-Lying Stretches – Useful if baby needs to move into a better position. To Maintain Amniotic Fluid Levels: Drink plenty of water (at least 3 liters daily). Eat water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges. Coconut water & buttermilk can help. Avoid excessive salt & caffeine, as they can dehydrate you. Rest on your left side to improve blood flow to the uterus. About the Single Cord Loop: A single cord loop is common and not necessarily dangerous. Keep monitoring with regular scans. Avoid positions that put too much pressure on the abdomen. Follow your doctor’s advice about labor positions, as some may help reduce cord-related concerns.
