40 +5 today ..... thinking of going for a swim???

[fayegal]

As I am 40+5 today and still no sign of baby I am thinking of going swimming tonight. People keep telling me to keep active but walking is just too painful, do you think going for a GENTLE swim would help?? And is it Ok to go swimming if I am this far gone??

Don't see why not.

Sara Cox of the radio swam 30 lengths, then went shopping, then went into labour.

Worth a go

i cant see why not either... the exercise might help you feel better & it would def take the weight of things off you.

I went swimming at right up to 40+3, just be aware that you may not feel waters breaking if it happened in the pool, otherwise go for it! I would've gone right up to induction at 40+12 but my free membership ran out and I didn't want to pay to go
