Normal for stomach pains after swimming?

Jennifer • 23yrs, happily married and expecting our first Lo Austin Xander in November.
Went swimming and now having very strong abdominal pains. I'm 19+3 today and havnt swam since about 9 weeks. Could i have just worked myself up to much? I did a lot of underwater swimming because regular strokes gave me pulling feelings in my stomach. I know swimming is a great exercise for expecting mamas so what gives?

I wouldn't worry about it. Unless it gets to serious. I went swimming the other day and afterwards my stomach hurt so bad I could barley walk, my husband had to help me walk back to the hotel..

Thanks for the feedback! It has gone away and little man is moving around like he's reorganizing his space lol

I'm 34 weeks, and went in the pool for the first time yesterday. I didn't even swim, I just stood in the water and it gave me period-like cramps, and a weird achey pulling feeling. I didn't stay in long because of the cramping. I still don't know why that happened.

period like cramps always make me nervous. usually i get them after lots of walking and sciatic nerve pain but usually subsides after awhile. Hope yours did as well. You're almost there!! Congratulations! 🎉
