Book Labour Loot Aquanatal® classes
To attend Labour Loot Aquanatal® class, there are three steps:
Book into classes using the link below (classes are limited to a maximum of 12, the booking link will tell you how many places are left).
Download the Medical Clearance Form and ask your midwife, obstetrician or GP to complete/sign it and email it to Labour Loot Aquanatal® (info@labourloot.com.au). This form needs to be completed prior to commencing classes in pregnancy and again prior to commencing classes after birth.
Complete the Registration Form online prior to commencing classes in pregnancy and again prior to commencing classes after birth.
You can do these three steps in ANY order, as long as both forms are received by Labour Loot Aquanatal® prior to attending your first class or you will be unable to participate.
Please note, classes are for women/participants only so everyone can feel relaxed in the privacy and peace of our space. There are no childcare facilities on site or anywhere for someone to sit with your baby/child that would not affect the class, so please seek help from your partner/family/friends to mind your little one(s) when you are ready to leave them for a short period to attend classes.
Cost of classes:
$35 casual class bookings
$150 for a 5 Class Pack (save $5 per class; class credits expire 12 months from the date of purchase)
$280 for a 10 Class Pack (save $7 per class; class credits expire 12 months from the date of purchase)
Full payment is required at the time of booking.
Gift certiciates are also available for a 5 pack or 10 pack of classes. A gift voucher to Aquanatal classes will be more valuable than another baby blanket, classes will help prepare you for labour/birth or use it to regain strength after birth. A great gift idea to add to your baby shower gift registry.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE: In pregnancy, you can start classes anytime as long as you are feeling well (ideally after an early dating scan to confirm a viable pregnancy) and continue right up until labour/birth. After birth, you can resume/start classes from 6 weeks after birth (from 8 weeks after birth if you had a caesarean section or complication eg 3rd or 4th degree tear, wound infection).

FOOTWEAR: Please wear suitable non-slip shoes and walk slowly around the pool deck.
FOOD & DRINK: Please bring a large bottle of water (no glass) to have by the side of the pool. You may prefer to bring a light snack for before or after class, but please do not consume food around the pool deck.

The make-up class must be attended within 21 days from the missed class date otherwise you will forfeit the payment for that class. If the reason you did not attend the class was because you went into labour/admitted to hospital, the make-up class will be valid until 12 weeks after the date of the missed class so you can attend after birth.
Medical condition diagnosed that prevents you from future participation in Labour Loot Aquanatal® classes: Please ask your midwife, obstetrician or GP to complete the Medical Clearance Form and indicate on the form that medically you are no longer able to participate in classes.

‘No show’ to a booked class: No refund or make up class is available and your payment will be forfeited.

More questions?
You will likely find them answered on the FAQs page but if not, please contact Clare on 0410 332 917 or email info@labourloot.com.au. I always strive to respond quickly but I am a shift working Midwife so there are times I am busy caring for mums and bubs at work - or asleep after a night shift - so there might be a short delay in my reply at times.
