Swimming

[bump]

Hi Ladies,

my first post, well second I introduced my self in the intro section.

Im 12 weeks and love swimming but found it to be a chore with the weight. God forbid the next 6 months as I get bigger.

I love swimming r there any others that suffer this way!!!!!!

My hubby and children come with me but I feel I want to stop, weight dragging me down abit and im aching after wards!!

I want to keep going with them for the next 6 months as my hubby and children are so great to be with me, but feel i want to stop, I spoke to a friend who is coming down tomorrow and she is bringing with her something that she feels might help, any advice from others would be gratefully appreciated.

gtg before i start blubbing ho ho hormones

I love swimming as well and I've actually found it a relief to get in the water and have some of the weight supported. Maybe you could try some sort of bouancy aid? I remember there was a woman on Dragons den a couple of weeks ago who had designed a "bouyancy bump" but not sure if this is available on the market yet.....

just had a quick trawl of the internet and found this:

Might help

Also, I know I can't do as much as before - I feel ok at the time but feel like I've been hit by a truck afterwards, so I have cut down a bit

I would say keep going... when I was preg I had SPD and was told the the physio to go swimming and it helped heaps! I didnt swim as such but just letting the water support you is great!

I still swim occasionally but find rather than swimming in the medium lane i swim in the slow lane. I also go to aquanatal which I enjoy but our pool you have to be 16 weeks to attend.

Morning girls,

hope everyone is happy this morning.

My friend Tina arrived this morning and she gave me an aid to help me swim stress free and its the product that Andrea suggested, I purchased the small because im at the end of my 1st semester and she gave me a large so I have both for my 9 month term.

Thanks for the advice girls much appreciated.

going swimming with Tina this afternoon, cant wait.

oh any new oils out there for stretch marks??

Thanks

Camilla

Hi There, my name is Sam, I am 6 months pregnant with my second, I am interested to know about the swimming aid also as I saw this lady on the TV too.

I am suffering with lower back ache, its a nightmare. I have been swimming but because I dont like to get my hair wet it hurts my back even more.

I did check out the site www.sjmbabyproducts.co.uk and it looks great. I see that 'Camilla' is going to try it out, I will just wait a while to see what she says before I buy one!

I think this summer is going to be scorching so I hope its good!

Hi Andrea and Sam

I went swimming the other day with tina and tried the aqua mum out, it was a tiny bit fidly to put on, but when i got into the water and started to swim it was brilliant, i didn't get the back ache that i normally get and i didn't feel as though i had a buoyancy aid on because it is very discreet. i will definetly use it again and because tina brought me the other size I know i can carry on swimming through out - YIPEE

has anyone else tried it out?
