I didn't do much exercising.. it was mostly lounging and sunning haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-while-pregnant#post-1936367 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 03:48:18 +0000 birdofafeather 1936367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I was super pregnant in the winter and only went in a pool once and it was magical! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-while-pregnant#post-1936217 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 19:45:14 +0000 JessKas 1936217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swimming while pregnant is THE BEST.

We have a pool in our building so I hope to swim with this one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-while-pregnant#post-1935945 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 13:17:22 +0000 meganmp 1935945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing felt better than being weightless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-while-pregnant#post-1935909 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 12:22:00 +0000 blackbird 1935909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually indoor pools are heated :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-while-pregnant#post-1935894 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 11:56:35 +0000 Cole 1935894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swam up until 40 weeks, it was chilly out but I showered and dried my hair at the gym and it was fine. I loved swimming, it was so nice to feel weightless. It's definitely worth a try at least once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-while-pregnant#post-1935879 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 11:44:55 +0000 MrsB2012 1935879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They say swimming is one of the best exercises you can do while pregnant! It'll probably feel so nice once you're in </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-while-pregnant#post-1935875 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 11:36:47 +0000 lamariniere 1935875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so! My first baby was born end of December (so I hear you on the cold!) and I swam 3 days per week all the way until 37 weeks. It felt soooo good to get in the pool. At the end, I was just using the kick board for 20 min, but it made me feel great and kept me active. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-while-pregnant#post-1935871 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 11:30:59 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1935871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our gym has an indoor pool, and I am debating trying some water aerobics classes as I am getting further along in this pregnancy and other exercise is getting harder. Unfortunately, the idea of swimming right now, especially since it is cold, just doesn't sound appealing at all. Is it worth sucking it up and giving it a try? </p>
