swimming

i want to carry on swimming as ive been getting a bit lazy but bit worried cos i heard a few people say that u shouldnt do breast stroke while your pregnant.. thats the easiest one! is this true? what do you think? i cant go in there do that over arm thing surely? :roll:

    i went simming when i was pregnant and always did breast stroke. in fact i went to an aquanatal class for a while and the midwifes never said anything about not doing it. it is so good to be in the water you feel weightless for a change.lol

    No you shouldn't be doing breast stroke, its the legs that can be dangerous the further into pregnancy due to the way the pelvis gets tilted.I've been going to aqua natal and we were told not to do it and I also read it in a mag, can't remember which one though.x
