Week 40
Prenatal Online Exercise
Hello There!
At this stage in your pregnancy..
Baby size: watermelon. Your baby is due this week, however, only 5% of babies are born on their actual due date.
Changes in energy levels are pretty common this week. Maybe you've been hit by the urge to slump down on the couch or maybe the nesting instinct has intensified and you feel the strong need to clean out the linen cupboard. Don't worry — both are completely normal, as is alternating between the two states.
The amount of time a woman stays in hospital after her birth will depend on many factors including the type of birth she experienced, the hospital policy and if she or her baby are unwell. Returning home from hospital can bring with it mixed emotions. Once you leave hospital, or your caregiver stops home visits, there are various community services that can step in to assist you. What is available in your local area will vary depending on where you live. Your caregiver should provide you with a list of contacts prior to discharging you from their care.

Salute to the Sun
A great moving stretch for the upper back, shoulder blades, neck and arms. Pay particular attention to your breathing during this exercise. This will also add an element of relaxation to your day.
The 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.
