Welcome to The Pregnancy Centre newsletter
from the desk of Dianne, physio at PMFP, Director of The Pregnancy Centre, Pelvic Floor First campaign ambassador
Thanks for joining our newsletter. We hope that you are staying focused in the lead up to Christmas on the main important things for you. Just a reminder to "breathe" your way through the tougher moments, with either one relaxed breathe, a big deep breath and release out, 3-5 deep relaxed focused breaths - or attending you favourite program to focus on breathing and stretching your way through the challenges of this season.
We have just released a new program to help the pregnant mums getting ready in the next few months for birth. Just a two week program - right in time to add some moments of calm amidst Christmas planning.

Do you want some Relaxation for Christmas
We've put together a new Preparing for Labour 2 week e-Course with a daily relaxation, stretching or breathing practice emailed to you. Starting with short practices, then they build to some longer recordings close to the end of the two weeks. This will help you to practice and do the techniques, a little at a time, so that you can build your skill and awareness of some techniques that can be used to help with labour. Build in a little time, amidst the Christmas preparation season.

Your Pelvic Floor
Remember your pelvic floor over this season. It's easy to let slip your exercises. If you are unsure, we've got both our FREE Pregnancy and Postnatal Pelvic Floor e booklet, and our newly housed Pregnancy Pelvic Floor 4 week eCourse with tips you will only get from inside the course (not available in the ebooklet). Enjoy the time you have this season.

Early Postnatal Exercises
Here are some early postnatal exercises for those first three to six weeks after your baby is born. These can be done over Christmas! A little at a time.

Rebuilding from the Inside Out
For postnatal recovery to be effective, it takes time and technique. Work with your physio or fitness professional to help build up step by step as you recover in your pelvic floor and abdominal wall. Check for any abdominal muscle separation and ensure that you feel your pelvic floor building as the weeks progress. If not be sure to seek further advice. Technique can make a lot of difference, and it's not always easy to tell how well you are working the internal muscles of your body.
