Flotation therapy

[annaitaliana]

I've been given vouchers for flotation therapy sessions...am currently 36 weeks and Dr Google says it's fine for this stage of PG. Just wondering if it actually helps or if I should save them for a treat after the baby is born? I can't spend more than a few seconds on my back at this point so not sure how relaxing this will be. Anyone out there floated before? Good or bad experiences?

I had a session when about 36 weeks with my last pregnancy and it was really relaxing. I think your back will be fine - you are suspended in the water rather than floating on top so you can completely relax and get yourself comfortable. I'd forgotten all about it until you posted - might book myself in for some more this time round.

This isn't very helpful but your post reminded me of a disastrous session I had when preggers with DC1! This only happened because I'm claustrophobic and panicked when the lid started closing at the end of the session - I'd been told just to hit the button to stop it closing but I couldn't't think straight and flung myself out onto the tiled floor like a pregnant Indianna Jones escaping before the rock rolls over the cave entrance. I was black and blue all down my left side and felt like such a numpty!

It was lovely up to that point though and unless you're a claustrophobe like me, I think you should go for it!

Andanotherthing I didn't mean to laugh but that is hilarious Poor you!

Thanks for sharing though, think I'll give it a go. At this point, anything for the chance to be comfortable for an hour....

Glad I've not put you off - enjoy your session!
