The UTERUS Midwifery Team is a pioneer in specialized aquatic sessions programs for pregnant women in Portugal. The program includes specific exercises designed for pregnancy, offering a unique experience of bonding, relaxation, and well-being.
The pool is heated, and the water quality is carefully monitored.
Floating exercises, underwater sounds, and breathing techniques in water promote stress relief and strengthen the emotional connection with the baby.
Breathing exercises enhance maternal and fetal oxygenation, while pelvic exercises are essential for activating and strengthening the pelvic muscles.
The intimacy and relaxation experienced in the water stimulate the release of endorphins, hormones associated with pleasure and well-being, and foster deeper bonding between the couple.
The resistance of the water provides an ideal environment to stimulate blood circulation, improve postural alignment, and reduce joint pressures.
Participants also practice self-control and self-confidence techniques to prepare women for a more empowered birth experience.
