So im going to try an Aquanatal class

[redbear]

Hi everyone,

Im a big lass and have started to get uncomfortable already, not sleeping etc and i start maternity leave in a couple of weeks so i was looking into something i can do to help me feel better and more energised.

I'm a plumber and so from the beginning i have been lifting and running around and very energetic (didn't feel like it) But my doctor advised i should leave work before i could leave for maternity, due to the nature of my job... but ive ignored him lol, So when i do start maternity i want to do something to keep me moving instead of sitting on my couch watching daytime tv.
As i have a high BMI i want to keep as healthy as i can from as early as i can.
Im not made to be at home i get bored really easily.
So i looked into fitness for pregnant women, i found Aquanatal Swim classes ran by a midwife for expectant mums to do some exercise in water--- this sounds perfect to me, i don't really like yoga or the gym but love swimming. So after a lot of searching i have found a class close enough to me and its on an evening which i prefer,
Its going to cost £4.10 a week. I dont think that too bad really... im very excited and have already bid on a maternity costume on eBay lol.

Have any other ladies been to these classes and what where they like? What do you do? Thanks xx

Aquanatal is brilliant hunny, i did it with my little man and i started it about 16 weeks with this pregnancy. Its great to get some exercise plus speak to other expectant mums, i have made some great friends the first time and this time we have already swapped numbers and are arranging a coffee morning once all our little ones are here as there is about 4 of us due within a week x x

Well im not very good at meeting people so im a bit worried that ill be stuck on my own... im hoping some of the ladies are nice and i can make some friends, I will be at home a lot more so would love to go to coffee mornings and things like that. im also a first time mum so dont have a clue what im doing so hope i can steal tips and advice off other mums lol,
What do you do at the class is it like aqua aerobics?
