Pre-natal and post-natal exercise

Our Hydro-natal classes offer a great way to stay fit during your pregnancy or after your little one arrives. The water provides support for your joints (and your growing bump) allowing you to feel more comfortable whilst exercising. Our low impact exercises are designed specifically for expectant mums and new mums to help maintain fitness and prepare your muscles for the added demands of pregnancy and beyond. The water here at Starfish Hydrotherapy Pool is heated to a lovely warm 33 degrees which can also help to improve your circulation and help you to relax. Hydro-natal is designed specifically for mums-to-be and new mums with safe, low impact exercises to help you stay fit in pregnancy and post-birth. As well as gentle exercises there'll also be plenty of time to relax in our lovely warm pool and meet other mums-to-be.

Is exercise safe during pregnancy?

If you feel well, the NHS recommends that regular, low-impact exercise in pregnancy can help your body to adapt better as your bump grows and can even help prepare you for labour. If you had limited exercise before you became pregnant we'd recommend you discuss starting an exercise programme with your midwife before you join the group. If you already had an aquatic-fitness or swimming programme before you became pregnant then Hydro-natal is perfect for you, although you may need to slow down as your pregnancy progresses and shortly after the birth. Our small group session of just 8 allows our expert instructors, Hope and Jess, the opportunity to get to know each of the mums and mums-to-be in the class and ensure that the exercises are tailored to their level of fitness. If you're not sure whether the class is suitable for you or have any questions, our lead aqua-natal instructor Hope will be happy to answer your questions. You can contact her by email, hope@neptuneaquatics.co.uk or via Instagram on @neptune_hope

Here at Starfish Hydrotherapy the safety of our mums-to-be and their babies is our highest priority, that's why we recommend that you shouldn't join the class until after your 12 week scan or until at least 6 weeks after your baby is born. When you sign up for Hydro-natal we'll send you a questionnaire to make sure you are well enough to join us. It's important to listen to your body more than ever during pregnancy and post-birth, so if you don't feel well enough to exercise but have booked a session, we will always move your booking to another date or offer a refund.

Pricing

We understand that during pregnancy or post-birth your exercise programme will need to be flexible. We offer two ways to pay for your sessions. Either pay-as-you go or a block of credits to use anytime. Each credit is equivalent to one session, the more you purchase the more you save. If you're unable to use all of your sessions then get in touch and we'll transfer your credits to one of our other exercise sessions or even as credit against our Under 5's session which is perfect for baby's first swim!
