I heart swimming

Ooo, I had a nice swim today. They always are. I had a cushy health club membership when I was pregnant with my first but sadly not any more. So today I had freebie tickets to a pool in a gym - very functional (and cold!) but so nice. And as they had a really shallow toddlers' pool my daughter suddenly started swimming beautifully for the first time. Fantastic!

It feels so good to swim when you're pregnant and overweight like me - it's the only time I ever feel physically adept and fast. And I love the idea of the baby swimming inside me while floating in a bigger pool.

I wonder if it's a good way to turn mapresented babies - you could do summersaults underwater and they'd have loads of free space - though holding your breath isn't such a good idea, I guess.

I wish I had a pool. I'd swim twice a day!

Glad you got a swim! I loved swimming while pregnant, though I only managed to do it a few times. I felt like a manatee!
