The Municipality of Santo Tirso has announced the expansion of the Gravidez Ativa program, which now includes aquatic activity classes and a new evening schedule for physical exercise.

The program, which already included postpartum classes, now extends its reach to Vila das Aves and diversifies practice locations, including the Municipal Pool and the Fábrica de Santo Thyrso, in addition to the Municipal Sports Pavilion and the Vila das Aves Parish Council.
According to the municipality, the initiative aims to respond to requests from participants, promoting health and well-being during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Sessions focus on reducing common discomforts and preparing the body for birth, while postpartum classes prioritize physical recovery.

"The successive expansions of the program are a reflection of the success it has had among pregnant women."
