Antenatal exercise classes

Hi all,

I’m looking for antenatal exercise class in Taunton, Bridgwater or Wellington, preferably something very low impact like yoga, Pilates or aqua aerobics.

Any help would be appreciated, I’ve been Googling for the last hour and only find old groups which have since closed down!

There's an antenatal aqua class at Wellington sports centre (I think it's Tuesdays at 1) but they've just announced pool closure from November... The only antenatal yoga/pilates I know of is Andrea at Minding Each Moment and comes highly recommended - unfortunately there's not much locally in the way of pregnancy yoga! Have a look at Mollie Meadows Hypnobirthing - she does lovely pregnancy relaxation classes which are great for meeting other mums x

Following because I would love this too! I did pregnancy and normal yoga in Bristol (Trika studio in Southville) near where I worked before going on mat leave. I'll be going back to that studio for Mum and Baby yoga but I'd love something in Bridgwater where I live as well x

I’ve been making lots of calls and have found out there is no aqua natal in Wellington or Taunton anymore😣

There is yoga at Moose hall on Sunday nights starting in November.

thank you for the response!

seems like Bristol has a lot more options 😢

will keep looking and let you know what I find…

definitely check out the others, frustrating that there's not more in the way of physical exercise but there are lots of good mum/baby groups and support locally which makes up for it in many ways! Xx

ahhh thank you- exactly what I was looking for! I even rang them and asked and the receptionist said no!
I can’t do this until I go on Maternity leave- but will definitely keep it in mind for when I finish work! 😊

I saw it and thought it was a strange time to have it so maybe they changed their mind 🤣

@Cat I've heard of the Moose Hall yoga - I was going to give it a go when I was pregnant but the timings didn't work out. I think she does a postnatal one which I'm going to check out as I've had my baby twins! Trying to get back into some gentle exercise 🙏

Hi, I am in the same boat as you were last year! I can’t find anything did you have any luck in the end?

no I didn’t! I ended up doing some Hypnobirthing classes in Taunton. I found some YouTube videos for antenatal yoga. I really wish there was more available.

I just thought, it might be worth looking on Facebook as that’s where I found lots of post natal groups…?

it’s a shame as it seems a lot of places have just stopped. I have found a yoga class in Ilminster and a few things run by moving mums

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Answer only if it applies to you.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️

Hiiii!

Hey yall! I’m Mahala and socially awkward as hell. I’m looking for other moms to connect with to hang out in person or on FaceTime. Drink coffee while the kids destroy the house. Literally anything. Making friends is hard in motherhood when you don’t know how to talk to people. I’m pretty low maintenance friend and we can talk whenever. And I’m down to do anything within reason. Let’s chat!
