THE PILLOW HOLD

I can’t wait to add this hold to the September Water’s Touch course.

The ‘Pillow Hold’ promotes the development of core, shoulder, and neck muscles, as well as muscles that flex and extend the body, helping with stability.

This position can mimic the womb environment, promoting feelings of security and reducing stress.

Waters touch is a beautiful, slow paced introduction to the water for babies. It incorporates baby swim holds and lots of baby massage techniques. It’s a lovely opportunity to connect with your baby in the water using touch.

I’m currently taking bookings for the next Waters Touch course starting on Monday 2nd or Tuesday 3rd November.
Please message for more details or to book your place

Last week we let you know about some of the research studies that ULTH are engaging in. Here is some more information about one of those. The ADAPT study. We are looking for women to participate in the study - can you help?

☀️ Are you or your partner currently pregnant?
☀️ Have a baby under 12 months old?
☀️ Or have had a baby under 12 months old in the last 12 months?

We invite you to take part in a research study about your views of hot weather in England during pregnancy and the newborn period, by completing a simple questionnaire.

If you would like to take part, the survey can be found here: https://bit.ly/hotweather-survey. ☀️ (Please select ULTH).

At the end of the survey, you can enter a prize draw for a chance to win a £50 shopping voucher. 💷

Taking part is voluntary and your responses will be confidential.
More information about this research is available in the Participant Information Sheet.

If you have any questions about this survey, please email the ULTH research lead at [email protected].

Share it with your baby’s other carers and with your friends, pregnant or with a newborn! 💞
Thank you again for supporting us with this important work - we really appreciate your time.

👋 Let me introduce myself my names Louise (I’m the one on the right and I’m with my lovely friend and colleague Tracy from Busy Bumps Antenatal Workshops Lincoln UK

I’m the face behind AquaMama which I started in 2018.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒I’m married to Stephen and I have 2 teenage boys. Joseph 16yrs old and waiting to find out his GCSE results this month and Harry 14 years old who is about to start his GCSE’s in September!!!

🐶 We have a crazy labradoodle called Lenny who is 4yrs old.

I’m a practicing midwife with over 18 years experience and I currently work on labour ward at my local hospital. I’m also an Aquanatal instructor and baby and pre school swim teacher.

Being a midwife, aquanatal instructor, and baby swim teacher means I get to support families through some of the most incredible stages of life – from pregnancy to those first splashes in the pool.

❤️ I love helping mums stay active during pregnancy, watching babies build confidence in the water, and seeing families grow stronger together. Movement has always been a huge part of my life, which is why you’ll often find me in the gym or out on a run when I’m not at work.

🥰 For me, it’s all about supporting strong mums, confident babies, and healthy families – both in and out of the water.

Feeling incredibly grateful to do what I love every day. ✨

✍️ If you would like to find out more about the aquanatal classes for pregnant ladies or the Waters Touch classes for babies that I offer please message me for more details or to book on to a class.

I’ve just returned from a lovely family holiday☀️

Of course I had to join in the aqua fit classes and learn some new moves 😂

I’m now back and I’m catching up on emails and messages.

Thank you for your patience while I was away. If you’ve been waiting to hear from me, I’ll be working through everything over the next couple of days, so I’ll be in touch as soon as I can.

A little reminder for anyone with a Waters Touch and Waters Touch follow on place for September, if you haven’t yet paid for your course, I’d really appreciate it if you could do so as soon as possible. If your plans have changed and you no longer need your place, please let me know so I can offer it to another family.

I can’t wait to see everyone back in the pool in September 💦
