Swimming question.

So since Memorial Day is on Monday and I've been dying to go swimming especially since it's been in the 80s lately where I live is it safe for me to go? I know It is in the beginning but I wasn't sure now that I'm 37 weeks and 2 days. If I'm dilated is chlorine still safe?

Yes! Do go! Swimming is wonderful for you. It relieves so much pressure on your body, you might feel sore after, but then you'll feel really good later. Careful though, I hear that it's easier to pee when baby kicks and your in the pool lol. Enjoy!

I asked the same question the other day and I was told as long as your mucus plug hasn't came out. Idk if thats true or not. Im also curious.  But I'm 34 weeks and 4 days. And I did go swimming.  Its awesome!  It felt weird because of the weightless feeling and when I got out I felt like a weakling.  This weight I gained omg. But you'll love it.
