Meghan Markle's Dance of Pregnancy: Can It Induce Labour?
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, recently released a video from her pregnancy showing her dancing in attempts to induce labor. While anecdotal evidence supports such practices, scientific research is limited. Exercise like dancing is generally beneficial during pregnancy, although its efficacy in bringing on labor remains unproven. More studies are needed.

Sydney University Sydney, Jun 20 (The Conversation) — Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reignites discussion with a spirited podcast featuring her viral 'baby mama' video. The footage, filmed during her pregnancy with daughter Lilibet, shows Meghan dancing in a bid to induce labor, tapping into a celebrity trend.
The Duchess's dance video poses a curious question: Can movement truly help bring on labor? Experts advise that exercise, including dancing, offers numerous health benefits for pregnant women, although evidence confirming labor induction remains inconclusive. With benefits like reduced gestational risks and quicker postpartum recovery, physical activity remains essential.
Meghan's dance, featuring Prince Harry sharing the moves, connects the joyful presence and emotional support bonding them during the moment. While science doesn't conclusively support dance as a labor trigger, the positive experience and emotional boost may have provided benefits beyond the physical aspects.
