Antenatal exercise and Back care

Antenatal exercises are aimed to :-

• improve rom of joints especially at your pelvic floor
• abdomen strengthening and especially pelvic floor to prevent urine leaking
• maintaining a good upright posture through your pregnancy
• teaching relaxation techniques through your pregnancy
• teaching breathing control to assist you during labour

In the UK, you're recommended to attend antenatal classes and breastfeeding workshops (NCCWCH 2008). Traditional teacher-led classes are now making way for classes where mums-to-be and their partners set the agenda. This is because interactive classes help women have a better birth experience and make the early weeks with their babies easier to cope with (NCCWCH 2008).
