If you're not swimming....

Hi ladies, if you're not swimming then I truly recommend that you do. I'm going nearly every day after work.  I feel great & it's really helping me manage my back pain.

Sometimes I do laps & sometimes I just float around. It's great to feel weigh less & take the pressure of you're body. I think the bub likes it too because he/she is always wriggling around.

Get to the pool!! You won't regret it x

I can't tell you how amazing it's been for me. I'm 27 weeks & plan to swim as much as I can until I'm due. I'm Australian so I learnt to swim in our backyard pool when I was 3 so I'm a water baby but its never to late to learn. Floating is just as nice as swimming.  Do it ladies x x

Swimming works miracles...no more joint pain,no back ache,no more swelling,the froggy style.actually helps for babys head to engage and fix. Swimming helped me dilate also...I have been swimming ever since I was 33weeks,and now I am only about 2days away from delivery

I don't know how to swim, but I told myself that I would learn this summer. I found out in May that I am with child and while I was shocked, I'm excited about it. Now when I learn, I'll have a little swimming buddy with me =^}. Also I read also that it's good exercise for your body while you're pregnant, so I'm really looking forward to that and to the ease that it will have on my back....ahhh, I hope it's like floating on air....once I get the hang of it, lol....or else I'll be like a fish out of water...wish me luck! And have a happy and blessed pregnancy...these hormones are no joke mang, smh
