'Working out during pregnancy makes labour easier'

According to Cookie Skin CEO, Leslie Okoye, exercise can be great for pregnant women greatly minimising the chances of having a cesarean section

Pregnancy and delivery is perhaps of the most challenging, intriguing and yet fulfilling experiences a woman would ever go through.

Indeed, for some women pregnancy is particularly tough and the last thing on the average pregnant woman's mind is exercising. But according to Leslie Okoye, CEO Cookie Skin, women should work out while pregnant as it greatly aids the delivery process.

In an exclusive chat with Pulse, the Cookie Skin CEO revealed that it's been scientifically proven that exercise during pregnancy aids the labour process, making delivery easier and reducing the chances of having to do a cesarean section.

She further revealed that she herself, had infact worked out while pregnant for her 2 children.
