Any swimming ladies here?

Question

I love to go swimming because the water makes my belly weightless and I love the gentle exercise. Currently 29+5, anyone else still going swimming? I’ll be swimming as long as my midwife thinks it’s okay. Who else?

Answer

I love swimming, but hubs usually has to force me out of the pool. Getting out makes me feel like Baymax from Big Hero 6. 😭

Answer

Why would they say not to swim? I thought you could swim up until your water breaks!   Swimming itself actually hurts because my pelvis hates me but sitting in the water and floating around is lovely.

Answer

That’s awesome that so many of you ladies swim as well. Sometimes I get strange look because people are like “do you mean pregnancy swimming (aka floating to chill music and dimmed light, it’s nice but not what I do)” and I’m like “ Ehm no I swim laps, 45 minutes just back and forth”. 
Don’t get me wrong I’m still a bit overweight and surely not a fitness monster but I have been going to the local pool for years now and really try at least three times a week because I heard it’s good to keep on exercising when you’re pregnant. 
Also: the belly floats and doesn’t weigh anything in the water! Yeah for relaxed muscles and feeling like oneself again :)

Answer

Yep!!!  Almost 32 weeks and I love swimming.   Swam a ton with my first daughter too, it doesn’t cause issues or anything.  I wish I never had to get out of the pool!

Answer

My sister has a small above ground pool. It’s not big enough to actually swim in, but it’s nice to just sit and float. Takes some of the weight off my belly for a while. I visit her a couple days a week, and my 3 year old loves the water as well.

Answer

It’s the best thing ever! This is my second summer baby and even though it sucks how hot it is outside, I’m so grateful I can swim every day. It’s the best feeling ever on my preggo body 😌

Answer

Yup! I do aqua natal once a week, it’s hard coz though it’s winter here in Australia so not very motivating in the cold weather. My OB and fitness instructor said not to do breaststroke though- too much pressure on the hips and pelvis with all the relaxin hormone can do a bit of damage, other than that you’re good to go

Answer

I’m 30+3 and I swim everyday ☺️ I love it! Esp in this heat. Lol
