STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Prenatal exercise is of benefit to every pregnant
mother. Dianne & Margaret posited that exercise
can reduce the length of labour, shorten the
recovery time and even help with post-partum
weight management.5 The physiotherapists in the
hospital always come to the clinic as early as
possible but they usually meet only few pregnant
mothers because they come late to the clinic for
the exercise as they see little or no need for
prenatal exercise. The purpose of this study
therefore is to know how pregnant mothers
perceive usefulness of antenatal exercise as it is
being performed in the antenatal clinics of
LAUTECH Teaching Hospital Osogbo Osun State.
