hello girls,

im going swimming tomorrow for the first time since being pregnant.
im just wondering if its ok to swim in the main pool as its colder. or should i just stay in baby pool coz its warmer.

if baby doesnt kick does that mean it doesnt like it or not.

My baby doesn't move in the bath. I assume she just likes it and goes to sleep.

we only have a shower so i havnt had a bath while pregnant(sounds dirty)
but baby doesnt move when i have a shower and then once im out and dried it doesnt stop moving.

what you think about the water

You'll be fine in big pool in colder water. A lot of our bumps are "brown" fat anyway so would take a bit for it to chill LO. If you're worried about getting cold yourself, just be careful how long you stay in. There shouldn't be any medical reason you can't go in big pool though.

thanks lizzi,

ill go into big pool(colder water) but ill make sure i dont get too cold

I usually go in the big pool, don't think it's done me any harm

I think you can enjoy the big pool, as long as its not uncomfortably cold for you. I loved swimming when I first got pregnant, then it got too cold. Now the past few times I've wanted to go, after looking at myself in a bathing suit, I've stayed away LOL. Its really good exercise, without too much strain, and lets you move comfortably which gets quite impossible during pregnancy.

Also, I wouldn't worry quite yet if LO's movements are regular or not, or base an activity by that. They dont become normal for a few more weeks, at least in my experience and what I've heard from other ladies. Have fun!
