It was thought that the minerals within spa water have rejuvenating abilities and evidence now points to the immersion effects being the most beneficial factor.

Along with the benefits of buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure this makes the participation of Aquanatal not only enjoyable but also advantageous to women both during and after their pregnancy.

Midwives are the best facilitators of Aquanatal. We understand pregnancy, its normality’s and that which is not and as we spend a great deal of time with pregnant women we are often best placed to understand them. We know that an important aspect of any antenatal education is that of socialising and are able to facilitate this during each session. We are able to give good, research based, sound advice and we are there to instil confidence in the women we come into contact with. We help them to believe in themselves and their own body’s ability.

We promote good health in pregnancy, encourage self-help and engender well-being and it is our responsibility to ensure that the advice, information and instruction that we give is research-based and the most current available.

It is our responsibility as stated within the NMC Midwives Rules that we should undertake only the tasks that we have been properly trained to perform.

• Aquanatal is a wonderful form of safe exercise during and after pregnancy
• Aquanatal helps you to feel good about yourself
• Aquanatal will give you an opportunity to make new friends
• Aquanatal can help you to have a shorter active labour
• Aquanatal lowers the chance of having an assisted (ventouse or forceps) or operative (caesarean) delivery
• Aquanatal can help to alleviate antenatal and postnatal depression

It is fun, relaxing and frees you from the weight of your pregnancy for an hour or so. Try it and see. There are very few reasons why you should not participate; check with us first if there is some reason that you believe may preclude you.

The initial exercise session can be attended on a one off payment, however once you know that you wish to continue, we will require a 5 week in advance payment. This is non-refundable , however if when you make the five week payment you know you cannot attend a forward session (within the planned next 5 sessions), for holiday, appointments etc, we will honour the payment and it will carry onto the next week with no loss to yourself.

We have commenced sessions at Marlow Pool Court Gardens
