Pregnancy is one of the most wonderful experiences and journey in a woman’s life. During pregnancy and after delivery, a woman goes through many profound anatomical and physiological changes. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends regular and moderate-intensity exercise during pregnancy. Exercise is an excellent form of preventive medicine that keeps our bodies healthy and increases our ability to weather these numerous changes and stresses in mother-to-be or new moms’ lives.

I was referred to Body Belly Baby early on in my pregnancy, and I attended the pre-natal Pilates classes weekly up until the very end. From the beginning I absolutely loved the studio and the personalized attention from the owner, Valerie. She went above and beyond for all the students, and always answered all of our many pregnancy questions with helpful tips and solutions, in addition to the physical Pilates instruction. I had a dream pregnancy, no sickness or discomfort, and barely any water retention, and I truly credit my Pilates practice with Valerie for my prenatal health. My strength grew every week, and I just felt better after every class, no matter how tired I was before. I had tried prenatal yoga before finding the studio, but I found that I enjoyed the Pilates classes so much more, since they are tailor-made to build the strength necessary for labor, and not just stretching exercises to relax. So often pregnant women are told to rest and cease physical activity, but I found that I felt healthier and stronger the more active that I was. The classes at Body Belly Baby also provided great camaraderie with other pregnant students; I really enjoyed bonding with everyone and hearing about their unique pregnancy journeys.

In addition, the pediatric CPR course offered at Body Belly Baby was excellent, and both my husband and I attended. I look forward to taking the baby massage courses and to continuing with my Pilates practice postpartum.

I would recommend Body Belly Baby highly to any expectant or new mother, and I am so thankful that I found the studio as soon as I became pregnant! Valerie is so caring and encouraging- she provides that TLC that all pregnant women so desperately need!
