Abstract

This study examined physical activity, sitting time, and duration of sleep during pregnancy and explored their associations with cesarean delivery, birth complications, and low birthweight. Though physical activity and sedentary behavior were not related to pregnancy outcomes, yet many women had a sedentary lifestyle before and during pregnancy.
