The Preggi Bellies franchise helps minimise risk in pregnancy

The Preggi Bellies franchise provides help for members through telephone. Members of the sports and fitness business can get support, advice and answers to any questions their pregnancy or fitness training. The pregnancy exercise trainer maintains a comprehensive health record for each member.

Members of Preggi Bellies get expert instruction if they experience any biomechanical or musculoskeletal problem related to pregnancy. Instructors of the sports and fitness business tailor the programme to manage most of these problems. The pregnancy exercise trainer has involved itself in the latest research to develop exercise in pregnancy.

Preggi Bellies has found out that women doing weight bearing and cardiovascular exercise at least twice a week have experienced a 35 per cent reduction in the need for pain relief during labour. There was also seen a 75 per cent cut in incidence of maternal exhaustion; 50 per cent decrease in the need to artificially rupture membranes or induce labour; 50 per cent fall down in intervention due abnormalities in foetal heart rate; 55 per cent decrease in the need for episiotomy; and 75 per cent decrease in operative intervention.
