Benefits of Prenatal Exercises

Prenatal exercise offers numerous benefits, including addressing common pregnancy discomforts and building physical strength, flexibility and endurance. Plus, engaging in regular physical activity during pregnancy can have profound effects on both maternal and foetal health, contributing to a smoother pregnancy, easier labour and delivery, and improved postpartum recovery. Some of the key benefits of prenatal exercise include:

  • Improved cardiovascular health: Particularly important during pregnancy when the body’s blood volume increases to support foetal growth.egs, and Shoulders

  • Reduced discomfort and pain: Focus on gentle stretching, strengthening, and relaxation techniques, which can help address discomforts by improving flexibility, supporting proper posture, and reducing muscular tension.

  • Enhanced mood and mental well-being: Endorphins released through regular exercises can help elevate mood, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

  • Preparation for labour and delivery: Prenatal exercises may help improve pelvic alignment, increase pelvic floor strength, and promote optimal foetal positioning, potentially leading to a smoother and more efficient labour and delivery process.

  • Aids with postpartum recovery: Strengthening the core and pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy can help reduce the risk of postpartum complications such as urinary incontinence.

At our prenatal fitness and holistic studio in Singapore, our classes are specifically designed to cater to the unique needs of expectant mothers, preparing their bodies and minds for childbirth. Additionally, our supportive community and qualified instructors ensure a safe and enjoyable experience throughout the pregnancy journey.

Tailoring Prenatal Exercises to Each Trimester

Our prenatal exercise programmes are carefully adapted to each trimester, ensuring they safely and effectively support your body’s evolving needs. During the second trimester, we focus on strength training and mobility exercises, which are crucial for enhancing flexibility and strengthening the pelvic floor. As you enter into the third trimester, we emphasise relaxation techniques to alleviate discomfort and prepare you for labour.

The third trimester is a perfect time to try classes like Aqua Pregnancy [water-based pregnancy workout] and pregnancy therapies such as Watsu® Aquatic Therapy. These can improve sleep and enhance mental relaxation. You can even leverage Myofascial Release to ease tension and discomfort while realigning your posture.

Our meticulously designed classes evolve with your pregnancy, always prioritising your safety and comfort. Our qualified instructors provide personalised guidance and utilise props to ensure proper form and minimise strain.

When is the best time to start prenatal classes?

How often should I attend prenatal classes?

The frequency of attending prenatal classes in Singapore depends on individual needs and preferences. In general, it is recommended to participate in exercise classes at least twice a week, especially during the second and third trimesters. This can help maintain strength and flexibility, alleviate pregnancy discomforts, and prepare the body and mind for childbirth.

Nevertheless, some expectant mothers may prefer to attend more or fewer classes based on their schedule and overall health. Listening to your body and communicating with your healthcare provider and instructor about your needs and limitations is essential.

Can I attend classes if I have never done yoga or Pilates before?

Absolutely. Prenatal classes are designed to be suitable for all levels, including beginners. Your instructor will guide you through the poses, provide modifications as needed, and ensure that you are practising safely and comfortably.

As with any new physical activity, it is always advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before starting exercise classes, such as Prenatal Pilates in Singapore. It is also important to inform your instructor about any medical conditions or physical limitations you may have so they can tailor the practice to your needs. Remember to listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard, especially during pregnancy.
