28 weeks pregnant, and i finally got my butt over to the local pool for some laps!!
i had my midwife appointment this afternoon and convinced myself that this was the perfect excuse to go for a swim afterwards. i know that the third trimester can be tricky – you get slower, everything is sore, joints stiffen up and you can really have a miserable time. so i decided to embrace it, let’s get moving (slowly) and take care of yourself, tracey! (and let’s face it – the $9 prenatal yoga dvd just creeps me out – it looks and feels like the 70s!!!)
it was good to be in the water again – i haven’t been swimming since i was about 32 weeks pregnant with Jasper. hopefully, if all goes well, i will try and swim at least once a week for the next 8-10 weeks and then rest. today i did about 30 slow laps, which wiped me out LOL, next week i’ll try to do the same or a few more.
p.s. appointment went fine 🙂 had a blood test for iron and they’ll call if the results are showing i’m a bit low.. i’ve been taking iron supplements and eating more red meat and leafy greens, so i don’t feel as tired as i did before – but you never know!
baby girl is head down currently, she may or may not stay that way. fundal height is spot on 28 cms. blood pressure good, no complaints 🙂
p.p.s. no, there are no photos of me, pregnant and in a swimsuit. LOL.
