The researcher aims to assess the effect of selected antenatal exercises on outcome of labour among primigravida mothers. It was observed that most of the caesarean section and assisted deliveries occurred due to rigid cervix, prolonged labour and inability of the mother to cope up with the labour process and that affects both maternal and fetal outcome and further inquiry showed that the antenatal mothers lacked even basic knowledge about the importance of antenatal exercises. So it was concluded that there is association between antenatal exercises and labour outcome.
