Swimming in the lake
I have looked up stuff online and found contradictions. There was nothing about it in my school books. I figure it's safe but am I only the only one who swims in a lake. I went to the local beach the other day. The levels where good, so meaning bacterial levels were low. My idea is its safe? I know swimming is safe and I know we had a blast!
Well, i asked today and my ob/gyn said its fine! He just wouldn't recommend going into really nasty water, but i wouldn't want to anyways!
I was told as long as you have a healthy pregnancy and you aren't having complications there is not reason you can not swim in a lake
Thanks so much! I don't have an appointment for two weeks. I don't know why I can't find an answer. I'm sure it's because it's totally fine. I'm just a huge worry wart this time around. I love going to the creek! My siblings had me go a few weeks ago but didn't really get in.
Ill ask my doc tomorrow. It brings up a good point! Ill post the answer on this post after i find out.
It should be safe because what do you think woman bathed and drank from back then?? but I could imagine it puts you at high risk for an infection.
I was wondering the same, we swam in creeks and rivers last year but not this year yet I'm kinda Leary about it. They seem to be dirtier than lakes though
