Re: Karate and Pregnancy
Kanei Uechi said that his father told him that women should not train because the exercises will draw the cervix closer together, making child birth harder. (Uechiryu Karate Do; George Mattson; Requirement for Brown Belt, Old Chinese conditioning methods, Women in Karate)
This is just old wives tales as exercises can actually make childbirth easier.
