 It is important for your well-being and that of your baby that you attend regular antenatal check-ups with your midwife, doctor, clinic or hospital, as well as doing these exercises.

 During your pregnancy wear flat-heeled shoes and also use a low stool or a pile of books for squatting on, or sit on the floor cross-legged instead of on a chair whenever possible.

 It is a good idea to get together with another friend who is pregnant, or perhaps a small group, and practise together. Some of the exercises include partner work; they are equally beneficial for men, in case your partner wishes to join you.

 It can be very pleasant to follow your stretching session with a warm bath or shower, or perhaps a swim.
