Has anyone done this while pregnant?
Until this morning, I hadn't done water aerobics since college (8 years ago) and am considerably heavier now and sporting a 24-week bump. And that bump feels awfully pendulous in the water, I found out. Jumping out of the water is pretty uncomfortable, and feels like pulling in my pelvic area.
I try to listen to my body and if something hurts (like the jumps) then I'll take it easy and won't push as hard on that move. I've been exercising throughout my pregnancy but just wonder if anyone else feels this way when exercising in the water?
Should I maybe stay on land, or no need to be concerned?
Re: Water Aerobics
Thanks so much for posting back!
I keep hearing how supposedly great water aerobics is during pregnancy but yeah... kind of an uncomfortable way to exercise for some of us, I guess. Glad I'm not the only one!
I'm doing a water aerobics class also but it's designed specially for pregnant women. I've always swam so being in the water was the most natural way for me to exercise. I don't have a problem with it at all.
My water aerobics teacher says that the most important thing is to keep your belly underwater at all times that way there's less pressure.
