Third Trimester Classes
Every pregnancy is different, so we recommend checking with your GP or Consultant to ensure they are happy for you to continue with exercise at this time.
We also recommend watching our Pregnancy Introduction video before beginning the classes.
Your third trimester is very similar to your second trimester, in that you will apply the same modifications.
We recommend avoiding exercises on your back, especially core work. With a growing bump, there’s pressure on our tummy muscles, and by doing sit ups or ab work on our back, it increases the pressure on our tummy muscles, which can exacerbate a separation. Aside from this, we know from your feedback that lots of Moms-to-be simply aren’t comfortable on their back, so we tend to leave out all exercises in this position in our Prenatal classes.
As you approach your due date, you might want to stick to some of the gentle pregnancy classes so that is what we have compiled here. As always, it’s important to listen to your body and go at a pace you’re comfortable with.
