Swimming / sex after losing part of plug?

[fluffball]

Hello everyone!

I lost part of my plug last week at 35 weeks. No blood though, just a clear blob, but since then I've had a tiny very light-coloured discharge twice.
I called the midwife but I forgot to ask, is it OK to carry on swimming? (I've got my aqua natal class tomorrow!)

Also, how about sex? Is it still OK?

I've read somewhere that you shouldn't do either after your water's broken (as if you would!) but I haven't seen anything about plugs.

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks

I definatley had sex after loosing my plug didnt swim though do you have a midwife who does the sessions to ask? Hopefully someone here will have the answer though

Not sure about swimming - check with your midwife.

My waters broke and I didn't know about it and I went swimming the day I went into labour. I got shouted at for it

Thanks, girls!
I'll see if anybody else knows and I'll call the MW tomorrow if I need to.

Bee, I am impressed you still felt like swimming after your waters broke . I'd just have been terrified to move

I had no idea they had broken though. And I wasn't actually swimming but teaching kids to swim

LO was early - wasn't expecting anything at all

I thought I'd update you all on this, in case it comes handy for someone else -

I spoke both to my M/W and to the one who teaches the aqua-natal classs.
They both said that swimming after loosing part of your plug is fine (so long as baby is still moving and you haven't had any other symptoms of labour!!).
