Just no jumping.. and my doctor said I was allowed to swim up until I started to dilate, it has something to do with the chemicals after you start dilating but he said some studies show that swimming while pregnant can increase lung development :) I swam until I was 36 weeks, I started dilating at 37 weeks so I can't get in now but I wouldn't worry he just said no jumping into pool.
