No one would run a marathon without training for it, but most pregnant women
don't 'train' for labour. Consider that the average first stage of labour
for first-time mothers is 17 hours, and it makes sense to prepare your body.
Fit2Be programmes are specific to the demands of pregnancy and labour.
The benefit of staying fit is that it makes getting back into shape much
easier. Time is precious during the first months of motherhood, and
pre-natal training makes the task less daunting.
During pregnancy a womens posture is altered as weight is shifted forward.
This can result in lower back pain and tension in the neck and shoulders.
Specially tailored postural strength exercises can correct imbalances and
prevent discomfort.
Pregnancy and labour can be an emotionally demanding time. Exercise is good
for reducing stress and anxiety and for promoting a sense of well-being.
Fit2Be Trainers will provide you with support, encouragement and advice to
benefit from exercise during this time.
