You can swim while you are pregnant. You
can live your life normally. Pregnancy is
not a disease and there are only a few
restrictions on eating and exerting
yourself. Swimming is fine.
Rest and drink water.

Nah, .I doubt that the chlorine would have
any effect.
You may be cramping because you were
swimming. I cramp slightly after .I take
walks or after .I'm really active. So
that could be it.

Your cervix is closed tight and nothing
can get into your uterus and reach the
baby. Swimming is often recommended
during pregnancy as a safe, low-impact
exercise. Don't worry.

Yes swimming is safe. And when you get
to the end of your pregnancy trust me it
feels like heaven. The bouyancy of the
water takes all of that weight off of your
lower back, legs and feet. It's the
absolute best cure for the end of
pregnancy aches, and if the water is a
little warm, then it's even better!!!
And like a previous poster said during
pregnancy your cervix is shut to keep icky
bacteria from harming the baby...
