Pool Day!

JHarris8166

So far this pregnancy I have been self conscious about swimming in the pool. I have had a pretty good pregnancy and I don't even have stretch marks yet. I have the day off today and not meeting the pediatrician until later. I decided today was the day I am going to try swimming. I told hubby I am quitting my job and just swimming the rest of this summer! Any ladies who have the chance to swim, just keep swimming! It feels amazing!!

I have been in the water a few times and it really does feel great. But then the very heavy belly feeling when I get out of the water just sucks.

I'm so jealous!!  I've been dying to go swimming and swore I would this week but the stupid heat wave has kept me in the AC, as per DH's orders.  Enjoy your pool time!

I was self conscious too, but it's so hot outside! I went swimming on Sunday and it felt awesome! For the first time since I entered 3rd tri I didn't feel heavy. I did get a few "what is she doing here?" stares, but I don't care, I plan on going this weekend again.

I have no shame about my prego body and have even been wearing my bikini to the beach this summer. I went to the pool at my gym last night for the first time this pregnancy and just floated on a noodle for like an hour. It felt amazing and I'll be going back more often now until baby comes!

I don't have a pool to go to   My community pool should be built for next summer.  I really hope it doesn't get delayed b.c I want to teach LO to swim.

Yup! I'm doing a pool day tomorrow. I have a few stretchmarks around my belly button and I'm as big as a whale BUT I don't care! I need me some vitamin D!

I want to go to the pool so badly, but it's just so hot outside. Trying to keep lo in at least for the next two weeks after all the complications recently, so I guess I'll have to wait until then.

Hope you all have fun!

This!  I have been in the pool tons this pregnancy between DD's swimming lessons and just trying to beat the heat.  DD loves to swim so we go to the Y a lot and spend a lot of time in our friends pool.

I agree! THe pool is great!! We have one, so thank God, I don't have to be self-conscious. I've been wearing a bikini (just had to get a bigger top) and I don't  have any stretch marks, but I still feel weird! But It's AMAZING to be in the water, takes any pressure off down low, and I actually get to lay on my back AND my belly on my amazing floatee with mesh in-set. With NO pain!! YAAY!!! My NMW was really happy when I told her I go swimming almost every day. It's also fantastic exercise. haha I do old lady water aerobics a bit and sometimes just walk/run around the edge. I did swim laps but that's getting a little uncomfortable most days.

Yaaay for the swimming pool! It has already been my lifesaver!

I went "pregnant swimming" for the first time last weekend.  I felt very self conscious about wearing a bathsuit up until that point but it was so hot and we wanted to do something fun with DS.  It ended up being a great idea. I hope we can go again this weekend.

I've gone swimming and I enjoy wearing the two piece without feeling self conscious! I recently noticed a few stretch marks under belly button but I don't think it'll stop me from taking a dip. It's so relaxing!

I went swimming at my parents house the other day it was great but I was tired and sore the next day

I just moved to a new apartment complex that has an indoor pool and hot tub. While I can't do more than dip my feet in the hot tub for a few minutes, the pool is absolutely amazing. I love that when I get in the heavy feeling goes away, my back stops hurting, and I can actually MOVE again. Not to mention, I can't WAIT to teach LO how to swim!!

now i want to go swimming but my public pool is disgusting and they use way too much chlorine to cover it up

I didn't really get to swim officially but I took DS to the pool for the first time today. He loved it but it was darn hot. I'm whooped and could use a nap too.
