I used to swim regularly before and i really miss it. Im in my second trimester now and feeling pretty active. Is it ok to get back in the pool or better to wait? Curious if anyone here swam while pregnant.
Yes, swimming is actually one of the best exercises during pregnancy! 🏊♀️ It really helps with back pain and keeps you active. Just make sure the pool is clean and check with your doc first! 💕
Haan na, swimming is very relaxing during these months. It helps so much with body pain, ho na. Just make sure you swim slowly and don't exert yourself too much, and ask your doctor once.
Oh, being in the pool is the only place I don't feel like a heavy, waddling penguin right now! It is super relaxing for the pelvic pressure, but definitely make sure your doctor clears you for it first.
My doctor told me that swimming is highly beneficial because the water supports your body weight and reduces joint strain. However, she advised avoiding very warm pools and warning signs like vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage. Always get a green light from your gynac before jumping in.
With twins, carrying that double weight was exhausting and being in water was the only time I felt weightless! It's safe and practical, just don't try any high-speed racing. Check with your doctor to make sure your cervix is fine first.
