Regardless u will be fine swimming swimming actually stops contractions until u get out the water

@mei.murphy, ok yea i dont want to risk it!!

@melissaortega1995, last monday not at all... but i have been having a lot of contractions since which makes me believe i have dilated at least a bit.

Yes I asked my doc today because I was worried about infection in case I lost mucus plug. But my other concern is water breaking and not knowing. It happened to my boss. Her water broke in the pool and she had no idea. She got home and took a shower and still no idea. Then contractions started. So when she got to the hospital they asked if her water had broken yet and she said no. But when they checked it actually had been broken. So I would say it definitely can happen and you not know. So maybe just play it safe and dont swim too too close to your due date!

U should be fine r u dilated yet

@melissaortega1995, 36weeks7days so pretty much 37weeks

U will no soon as u get out the pool and dry off if u got water still coming down ur leg or feel like ur peeing yourself then ur water broke how far along r u

@melissaortega1995, im just concerned my water will break and i wont have a clue. Ftm so im not sure if ill notice or not

Yup it’s perfectly fine. It helps take off pressure off ur back too . I always go swimming with all my babies :) feels so good

Swimming is considered a exercise they told me when I was pregnant with my first baby that swimming in the third trimester helps work ur muscles in ur body and pelvic bone to help with a vaginal delivery

@melissaortega1995, really? How?

Yes it also helps labor

Yes
