Swimming is good. But I won't go to public pools. Haven't been in years! Sometimes there are too many kids and water is quite dirty. And u may risk getting kicked. Unless u stay in condo with a lap pool or have access to a pool inside a club?

Swimming is relatively safe for pregnant mums. Just go easy on it. Remember to do some light stretching and warm up. I did it just right after my first trimester. And boy, I slept well after that. Google it, and you can get lots of positive feedbacks on swimming during pregnant.
Try to go during non-peaks hours. Its rather difficult now as its the school hols.
Btw, am a first time mtb. Due in april, but the april thread is just so quiet and I have been a silent reader if this may thread for quite a while. Hope I am not being chase away!

I think swimming is one of the best exercise for pregnant woman. But do it slowly. Even walking in the water is good for us. I hav yet to start. Maybe soon after my nausea goes away.
@nazriah , just join us!

Why liddat huh?? So depressing. I dont remember feeling like this for #1. Grrrrrr
My gynae prescribe fish oil and calcium after week13. When i asked what else needed he only said eat more fish, its more effective than adding fish oil dosage.. either fried or steam fish is fine..

I go to public swimming pool once or twice a week. I just stay away from those kids by swimming in the middle of the pool rather than near the side of the pool. But last time, there was once i feel so breathless, then I pulled the string in the middle of the pool to have a rest for few seconds and take my breath first before I continue swimming. Feel a bit of panic that time. Later on, for safety reason I'd choose to swim near the side, so easier for me to rest just in case I need to. I also found if you go for swimming on weekday morning, say at around 7 am, it would be not many people there and no kids at all. Otherwise, try the time at around 6 pm, also not many people yet. But 7 pm would normally have lot more people. Avoid to go on the weekend morning after 8 am or afternoon as there will be more kids.

isenggirl, soreness may mean womb is stretching. as long as no prolonged cramping feeling with bleeding, it is fine. I am not feeling any soreness, maybe because numb already after having 2 kids. lol! I feel some hardening of the uterus though, which is quote uncomfortable. this happens a few times a day. was worried initially, but kind of used to it now as baby still kicks all the time and no sign of any bleeding.

Oh my.. thanks. I hope its really stretching of the womb. No bleeding or spotting or bad cramping. Hope everything is okay since my next gynae appt is still in 1 mth time. Meanwhile, trying my best to cope with work too

Hi all mummies to be
*wave*A first time mum to be, going 18wks now...
Same as Newbiemum80, i couldnt find the heartbeat too and was pretty worried.. finally heard something soft on the 2nd night (with aloe vera gel) but unsure if that's bb's heartbeat.. Like what Starrymommy mentioned, seems to be lower off the belly button region...
Gotto wait for another 3 wks for the detailed scan, hopefully will hear something stronger along the way before that!

For me, no swimming also feel tired and hungry. lols
so no difference at all.@isenggirl, saw that you have sore feeling at your tummy area from 1st tri? I have that feeling on my first tri, but I do not feel that soring anymore nore. Only sometime when I stretch my body when wake up in the morning then can feel tummy got lengthened a bit. I think you should bring it up to your gynae on your next visit, just to make sure that everything is ok.

waterh2o, welcome and congrats.
the heartbeat I heard using angelsounds is actually very loud! really like horses galloping, can't miss it. there were a few times when baby was nestled so low in the pubic region that I had to go all the way where my old csect scar was then heard the fast thump-thump-thump sound. and using aloe vera gel works very well. have to turn up the volume a little bit also.
here's a youtube video to teach you how to use it correctly and locate the heartbeat quickly. you can even hear the movements from baby when he/she is moving around inside!

I had jabbing/ poking feeling few wks back. But now its abit soreness mixed with slight jabbing. I got some mucus discharge today. Normal color though. And actually i just had lunch at 1pm, and about 2.45pm my stomach growling again. I think its okay to keep eating as long as no vomit! But i feel both almost like concurrently. I m sure i m not alone though..... i am still waiting for the bright day to come...

the jabbing and poking feeling I have been feeling are all from baby moving about inside. he was so active last night that I hardly got any sleep. kept waking up at really odd timings to feel him move and kick! the strongest kick I felt was at 6.30am. really like a mega kick 1 inch below the navel.

I can feel the baby kick now, but dun think that I could be waken up by the baby kick. Sometime I feel baby kick after I eat. lols.... he got energy, then kick me.

newbiemum80, I'm 18 weeks tmr. didn't feel this intensity in baby movements with previous 2. somehow feeling more with this one. I was actually lying flat on my back when I felt his mega kick. placed my hand over the bump and he did it again, strong enough for my hand to feel it too! strong little fella. haha!
lil_mermaid, I started once hit 2nd tri. I read that we need minimum 1000mg of DHA daily. depending on the potency of the fish oil you are having, you may need more than 1 pill a day.

@isenggirl, my gynae oso told me better to eat food directly rather than eating supplements. But I told my gynae that I rarely cook and I have all my meal outside. He said outside food might not enough. I have no choice since I am still renting a room and not allowed to cook. So I think better to have something to supplement.
