Should I be okay?

Question

I just got hired as a swim instructor while I’m about 20 weeks pregnant and I’m wondering if I should be okay? I’m in the water for about 5 hours at a time and the chlorine is pretty high but not enough to where I even notice it. Any experience in this??

Answer

My doctor has recommended multiple times that I go swimming to relieve the pressure of the baby. I think it should be fine, if you’re worried I’d consult your doctor. If you haven’t swam yet pregnant, it feels amazing while you’re in the water but be prepared when you get out to feel like you’re holding a bowling ball for a little bit🤣

Answer

Hi, swim teacher here! You have nothing to worry about. I have gestation diabetes and have to watch my activity levels for my sugars going down and I’m still fine in the water. I’m 30 weeks and have been working since week 1! 
As long as you’re not high risk then you’re fine.

Answer

Swimming should actually benefit you a lot. But I would definitely ask your provider about the chlorine.

Answer

I would ask your obgyn. It should be okay your not in the 30s yet. It put me into labor but it was around babys due date.

Answer

Water exercise is great during pregnancy just don't over exert yourself 😊
