Pre-Pregnancy Online Classes

Parenthood can be one of the most rewarding experiences that a couple can share together, yet it can also be quite stressful if you’re unprepared to handle all the changes associated with pregnancy. That’s why Shristi Foundation provides outstanding prenatal care training; their experts offer mediation training that can bring eternal peace on your pregnancy journey.
Pregnancy Exercises
Pregnancy exercise can help relieve aches and pains, keep you active throughout your gestation, and prepare your body for labor and delivery. When starting an exercise regimen during gestation, include both aerobic activities such as walking and swimming as well as strength-training exercises in your workout program. Prior to commencing any new regiment it’s wise to consult your healthcare provider regarding its suitability for you – be sure to bring this up at each prenatal visit so that an active lifestyle plan can be discussed together with them.
When starting to exercise for the first time, it’s best to begin gradually and build up to more strenuous workouts over time. Stay hydrated before, during, and after exercising to prevent dehydration. Walking, swimming, cycling, yoga and running are generally safe forms of cardiovascular fitness exercise during pregnancy; stretching routines such as half-kneeling on the floor with one foot in front of another knee (half-kneeling can strengthen hip flexor muscles and quadriceps safely).
Kegel exercises, which involve squeezing pelvic floor muscles, can be invaluable during pregnancy and should be practiced discreetly at any time of day. They strengthen muscles that support uterus, bladder and small intestine; often these support structures are weakened during gestation causing leakage of blood during childbirth.
Breastfeeding
Pregnancy is an exciting milestone in every woman’s life. To ensure a healthy gestation period, one should take proper care in nurturing themselves and their unborn baby, as well as seek expert advice at this crucial time. Shristi Foundation offers online classes designed by Yogis, gynecologists, pediatricians, child psychologists, beauticians and dieticians designed to assist expecting mothers on how to live a happy and healthy pregnancy lifestyle during their gestation stage. Our program spans 18 sessions featuring physical exercises, yoga sessions breathing techniques mind games audio visual sessions – perfect for expecting mothers in being prepared.
Our breastfeeding class can give you all of the knowledge and support you need to successfully breastfeed your new baby. Topics covered in class include benefits of breastfeeding, what to expect on day 1 and 2 (excluding latch issues ), positioning and latch issues, as well as myths related to breastfeeding. It is a required course for parents planning natural non-medicated birth.
This interactive session offers tips for making “tummy time” engaging for your newborn. Studies indicate that 30 minutes of daily tummy time is essential to promote gastrointestinal health, improve head control and decrease skull flattening as well as motor development – this class should be attended by all new parents/grandparents helping feed. This class should be considered mandatory by any individual providing feeding assistance to newborns or feeding assistance to others.
