“…In the first year, this research used a cross-sectional approach with a comparative analytical method where data regarding the independent variable and the dependent variable were collected at the same time. This study analyzes the effect of pregnancy exercise on first stage pain and duration of labor and the influence of yoga on first stage pain and duration of labor (Zhang et al, 2023). In the first year, the research design used was a comparative study, namely comparing a group of pregnant women who did yoga and a group of pregnant women who did pregnancy exercises on the pain and length of the first stage of labor.…”

Labor pain is pain that comes from uterine contractions trying to expel the baby. The mother's perception of pain during labor can influence the length of the labor process. Pregnant women should be supported to carry out physical exercise to obtain benefits during pregnancy and childbirth. There are several physical exercises during pregnancy, which pregnant women often participate in, such as pregnancy exercises and pregnancy yoga. The aim of this research is to develop yoga exercises and pregnancy exercises to overcome pain in the first stage and duration of labor, as well as to conduct a trial of a combination of yoga exercises and pregnancy exercises which can be developed to reduce pain in the first stage and duration of labour. This study used a prospective cohort design with consecutive sampling technique. The research subjects were pregnant women in the third trimester who were in the working area of North Tapanuli and Central Tapanuli Regencies. The research sample consisted of 50 people taking part in pregnancy exercise and 50 people taking part in pregnancy yoga during April - June 2023. Data analysis used the Mann Withney test. The Mean Rank value for duration of labor for respondents who did yoga exercise was 44.70 and for respondents who did pregnancy exercise was 56.30. Based on the results of statistical tests, a p value of 0.044 was obtained. The Mean Rank value of labor pain for respondents who did yoga exercise was 32.80 and for respondents who did pregnancy exercise was 68.20. Based on the results of statistical tests, a p value of 0.000 was obtained. so it can be concluded that there is a difference in the length of labor and labor pain between pregnant women who were given yoga training and pregnant women who were given pregnancy exercise training.

Pregnancy affects a woman’s physiological and psychological state. One of the most important aspects that requires attention is the quality of life of pregnant women. The quality of life of women during this period is influenced by a number of factors, such as back and pelvic pain, physiotherapy and physical activity, and also sexual satisfaction. Eighty-five women aged 21–40 years (30.80 ± 5.05) in pregnancy trimesters participated in the study: 17 women were in the first trimester, 32 women were in the second, and 36 women in the third trimester. The World Health Organisation Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women SSS-W-R15 were used to answer the research hypotheses. Respondents also provided information on questions regarding physiotherapy treatments and physical activity. Quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) and disability due to back pain (ODI) showed a statistical association and relationship (p-value = 0.045, rho = − 0.22). Quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) has an association with sexual satisfaction in pregnant women (SSS-W-R15) (p-value = 0.003, rho = 0.32). The trimester of pregnancy has an effect on ODI (p-value = 0.027). A significant effect occurred in a detailed comparison between the first and third trimesters of pregnancy (p-value = 0.026). The trimester also has an impact on quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) (p-value = 0.002). In a detailed analysis, a significant effect occurred between the first and third trimesters of pregnancy (p-value = 0.001). Moreover, the trimester of pregnancy has an impact on sexual satisfaction (SSS-W-R15) (p-value = 0.027). After detailed statistical analysis, a significant effect occurred between trimesters one and three of pregnancy (p-value = 0.046). On the other hand, the number of days of physical activity performed by pregnant women per month and the type of physical activity had no effect on the ODI (p-value = 0.071). The type of physical activity performed by pregnant women also has no effect on ODI (p-value = 0.023). The number of physiotherapy treatments used has no effect on the ODI (p-value = 0.156). Type of physiotherapy treatment has no effect on ODI (p-value = 0.620). Normal pregnancy quality of life (WHOQOL) is related to ODI and sexual satisfaction (SSS-W-R15), while the trimester of pregnancy also has an impact on quality of life, disability due to back pain and sexual satisfaction.
