Im around 7 weeks and i really love swimming, its my stress buster. Just wondering if its ok to continue this early or should i wait. would love to hear if anyone here swam.
Swimming was fine for me, kept me cool and my back didnt ache as much. Just use clean well maintained pool, dont dive or do anything strenuous, and avoid if water hygiene is doubtful. Get doc clearance and enjoy.
I'd be a bit careful in early pregnancy honestly, because thats a sensitive time. I had some bleeding early on and my doc told me to avoid extra activity for a while. So please check with ur gynac about ur specific situation first.
Swimming is actually one of the gentler exercises in pregnancy, low impact on joints. But I'd say get ur gynac's green signal first especially in early weeks. Once she okays it, dont overdo, listen to ur body.
Generally its considered safe and good if u have a normal healthy pregnancy, but every case is different. If u had any spotting or complication then maybe wait. Best to just confirm with ur doctor before u start in the first trimester.
