    Yes you can. Not in the later stages but you can swim without exerting too much pressure. It is included in the initial exercises and you can consult from your doctor as well.

      I'm sure you can, but you will just have to be very, very, very careful when you do.

        Yes you can. Swimming is great exercises for you and the baby. Any doc will tell you to exercise regularly w/o straining or over doing it of course. However when u get to the later stages it is not recommended for sanitary reasons. A lot of women will begin to dilate early in the third trimester and for that reason it isn't safe to be in treated/public waters.

        I would say no because what if you fall or drown the baby might die.

        Swimming is great exercise for you prior to delivery and the water allows the "kangaroo pouch" as i call it to flow weightlessly thus relieving muscles n your back & legs.  i would not swim in lakes, canals or the beach but a clean chlorinated pool should be good for you.

          Yes, it is safe to swim while you are pregnant. Swimming is a great exercise because it uses your whole body without putting a lot of pressure on your joints.
