its definately ok to go to indoor pool. the things you should avoid are saunas and spas where the temp is consistently hot. I am 29 weels and take my 20 month old swimming once a week in a warm pool. just make sure you dont overheat and keep your fluids up.

Yes! Pool is a great exercise for you, and it helps alleviate pains in joints and other parts of your body since your weightless in water

Yes you can go swimming in an outdoor or an indoor pool. You can not go in a hot tub, Jacuzzi, or anything that is really hot. So yes a pool is just fine and safe for you and baby!!!
