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?

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.

They say swimming is one of the best exercises you can do while pregnant! It'll probably feel so nice once you're in

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.

Usually indoor pools are heated

Nothing felt better than being weightless!

I swam with #1, it felt lovely actually, the water was really warm and supported my huge pregnant bod so for once I didn't feel so massive. We have a pool in our building so I hope to swim with this one too.

Oh I loved swimming while pregnant! I loved snorkelling while pregnant too!
-
I swam pretty late in my pregnancy and it felt great especially on my hips!!
-
Ooh i think you ladies talked me into it
-
It's my favorite! Feels so so good.
-
Swam indoors with #2, it felt so good! Wish I'd had that opportunity with #1!

Swimming while pregnant is THE BEST. It takes all the pressure off your joints and it's so nice to feel so weightless!
-
Yeah, I was super pregnant in the winter and only went in a pool once and it was magical!
-
I gave birth in late August so I was at the pool every day - it was the only time i felt good since you are so heavy at the end of the pregnancy and it's just nice to have all that pressure off all of your joints! I didn't do much exercising.. it was mostly lounging and sunning haha!
