AQUATIC COURSES FOR PREGNANT WOMEN

The bilingual course is held in a quiet environment with heated water and background music and is addressed to women from Gorizia, Nova Gorica and Šempeter-Vrtojba. The exercises carried out in the pool have the function of relaxation, but also of learning respiratory control, cardio-circulatory training and muscle toning and / or cooling down. The midwife has a guiding and supporting role: answers questions, listens, gives information and stimulates trust in pregnant women, making them aware of the resources they have to cope with pregnancy, labor and childbirth.

The course starts after the 21st week of pregnancy and involves groups of up to 10 women.

Courses start in January 2020.

WHEN: Every Tuesday at 17.00.

WHERE: Swimming pool of the San Giovanni di Dio hospital, via Fatebenefratelli 34, Gorizia.

The water recalls the maternal uterus in the newborn baby, whose memory is very active in the first months of life. The water calms the child and puts him in great intimacy with the parent.

The bilingual courses provide guided exercises for infants and their parents. The exercises stimulate the child's psychophysical development in a natural and comfortable environment.

Courses start in February 2020.
