Swimming in the lake/river

Has anyone asked their doctor about this?  Is it safe to swim in the lake while pregnant?  How about tubing down the river?

    I wouldn't drink the water... But I wouldn't do that not pregnant, either. Have fun!

    I'm not sure I'd go do Apple River or anything, but would definitely lake swim. Tubing would worry me with the possibility of flipping in a shallow area and having blunt trauma to the belly from the rocks.

    As long as your water hasn't broken you should be fine, maybe avoid rapids though.

    You should be fine - I swam in lakes all last summer while pregnant. Be careful on the tube, and like pp said, avoid rapids or any areas for potential falls etc.

    Have fun!
