Dear Mary,
Here are several of the references pulled from the Aquatic Resources Network
Aquatic Therapy Research Bibliography re: aquatic therapy (or as you call
it, hydrotherapy) and pregnancy.
You may also be interested in joining our aquatic therapy listserv (similar
to physio). To join, simply go to www.aquaticnet.com/services.html and join
the aquatic therapy listserv. It's free and questions like this are answered
all the time.
Hope this helps,

Dear list members,
I would be very interested to hear from any physiotherapists working in the
speciality of hydrotherapy if they have any protocols or restrictions
concerning pregnant women attending for treatment. This question has been
raised in my department and is causing much discussion.
Thanks.
Mary
