Welcome to The Pregnancy Centre newsletter
I might remind spring that it's time to arrive by re using this quote, as in Western Australia it's been rather cold of late. “Spring has sprung in the hundred acre wood” – A.A. Milne.
As you spring back into step to get outside to walk (as the weather improves) remember to stand tall, lift yourself up so that you have more room to breathe and feel the deeper breaths that you can take. Feel your feet also, and check your feet are well supported if you are wearing shoes. If you are at the beach, enjoy the feel on your feet.

Pregnancy Exercises
Have you checked how well you are doing your abdominal muscle bracing yet during your pregnancy? Have you noticed a gap or bulge between your muscles when you get up from lying or out of the bath or a chair? If you have or are not sure what an abdominal muscle gap is, then you can make an appointment to see Dianne at Peel Maternity and Family Practice, or to see your physio or fitness professional about this.
Here are some simple pregnancy exercise tips for you.

Postnatal Fitness Programs
Our postnatal exercise class starts again on the 18th October, suitable for mums who have already had their 6 week check with their obstetrician and midwife, and often for mums who have seen the physio Dianne also at the practice. We will also be starting to add a new online support program for mums who are seeing Dianne or attending the class. Contact Dianne for more information.
