Swimming

I went swimming yesterday and realized how hard it is lol.  I enjoyed it and met some parents with children swimming pretty good at very young age.  They start the kids at six months swimming.  I think that is awesome.  Anyway, it is safe to swim with eight weeks left of pregnancy? Well, lets just say I swam at that ymca for way to long but I feel fine today.

Oh good because last night I had a lot of pressure pains one after the other but now I'm ok.  I see my doctor today and I am 32 weeks today.  I will probably get my blood results back and have another boring visit.  I do have some questions this time and hopefully everything is still going as planned.

I went swimming a lot in my last pregnancy. It's really good for you to take the weight off of your spine.

I went swimming all the time with my first two. And with the second one when I was 36 weeks I went to the beach a lot. I. Heard the waves help with labor.. or maybe its induce labor. Not quite sure
