I really really want to go swimming at the local outdoor pool to try n cool down a bit in this heat. Family husband mother all say not to risk it a because if waters or plug goes il get infections and risk the baby and b) Embarrassement of plug or waters going in pool. I feel I should listen to them but I also wondered what % of women loose their plug/waters break pre contractions they can feel am really on two minds my logical brain says not worth risk to baby as I'd never forgive myself for infection if my fault. Then my other part of brain says imagine how much cooler and pleasent it would be to go for a half hr/hr dip at the local lido?! I have a paddle pool which is heavenly on feet but it keeps warming in the Sun and I have to empty and refill it to be cold enougj for me again. I also have had cool showers which are nice but not the same I'm just hot n bothered and itchy n generally feelc fed up which is silly when I should be excited and I love summer sun normally I'd be first off doing things and going places enjoying it all.
