Week 28
Prenatal Online Exercise
Hello There!
At this stage in your pregnancy..
Baby size: eggplant. Your baby’s liver starts to store iron which they will use up in the first six months after birth, until they start eating solids and getting iron that way.
From this week the recommendations by RANZCOG (Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) are to sleep on your left side. When you lie on your back and right side the weight of your baby can cause compression of some major veins that carry blood back to the heart, possibly compromising blood flow to your baby. Watch the Sleeping education video with Natalie to learn more!

This Week’s Spotlight
Get the lowdown.
Lunges
A lunge is a great functional movement that helps to strengthen your lower limbs. It is important to maintain functional strength in your body in order to make performing daily tasks during pregnancy easier.
Four Point Kneel
This exercise creates movement in the spine as well as gentle strengthening in the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles by challenging the core while in the four point kneeling position. If you experience any pelvic girdle pain then just extend through the arms.
Stretch Mat Class
Join MIllie in a full body stretch. This class complements the mat class so well. This class is safe throughout your pregnancy, providing you don’t have pelvic pain. If you have pelvic pain you may want to try out Stretching with Pelvic Pain. Don’t forget that this class is stored on our resources page so you can access it any time.
