​

Have been running since 2009, bring mums to be together through gentle exercise that suites the pregnant body whilst being supported by the water and noodles.

​

The benefits are huge for you and your unborn child both for

your physical and emotional well being.

​

Physical Benefits

  • Reduced joint and back pain: Water supports your body weight, reducing pressure on joints, the spine, and pelvic area.

  • Improved circulation: Gentle movement in water can help improve blood flow and may reduce swelling in the feet and ankles.

  • Better cardiovascular fitness: Water exercise helps maintain heart and lung health without excessive strain.

  • Increased muscle strength and endurance: Helps strengthen muscles used during pregnancy, labour, and recovery.

  • Improved posture and balance: The buoyancy of water makes movement easier and can help counteract changes in posture as the baby grows.

  • Enhanced flexibility: Warm water can help muscles relax and improve range of motion.

  • Support for healthy weight management: Provides a safe way to stay active during pregnancy.

​

Emotional Benefits

  • Reduced stress and anxiety: The calming effect of water can promote relaxation and a sense of wellbeing.

  • Improved mood: Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins, which can help boost mood.

  • Better sleep: Regular physical activity during pregnancy may help improve sleep quality.

  • Increased confidence: Feeling physically active and capable can enhance self-esteem during pregnancy.

  • Social support: Group aquanatal classes provide opportunities to connect with other expectant parents, reducing feelings of isolation.

  • Preparation for labour: Relaxation and breathing techniques often taught in classes can help build confidence for birth.

  • ​

Important Note

Most healthy pregnant women can safely participate in aquanatal classes, but it's always a good idea to check with your midwife, GP, or maternity care provider before starting any new exercise programme.

​

In summary: Aquanatal exercise can help reduce physical discomfort, improve fitness, promote relaxation, and support emotional wellbeing throughout pregnancy.
