Best Swimming Tips To Follow During Pregnancy
As it is the season to enjoy swimming, we all would love to dip into the pool and fight the scorching heat. However, when you are pregnant, you should not swim before taking any guidance from your doctor. Women with a complicated pregnancy like low lying placenta or a weak uterus are often advised to avoid swimming during their gestation.
However, there are many myths which has basically made swimming a scary proposition for pregnant women. But, under proper guidance and care, you can surely stay cool during summers by getting into a pool.
KNOW THE BENEFITS OF DRINKING MILK DURING PREGNANCY
Swimming provides good cardiovascular benefits and allows expectant women to feel weightless despite the extra kilos added by the pregnancy. You burn calories, feel energetic, and get proper sleep. Swimming is one of the safest and healthy exercises to try during pregnancy. Here are some essential swimming tips to follow during pregnancy.
Swimming Tips To Follow During Pregnancy:
First Trimester: Swimming early in the morning can be the best way to fight nausea and lethargy. If you have the energy, swim for 30 minutes if not all days of the week. In early pregnancy, you can also try all strokes. Do not force yourself to swim if your body is not supporting it.
Second Trimester: As the belly expands, you will suffer form back pain and also feel heavy. Swimming is good for pregnant women and should not be reduced if the body supports. The water's buoyancy reduces the effects of gravity on your body. Buy comfortable maternity swimsuit which fits your growing body. You can lie on your back to feel relaxed and prefer backstroke as well.
Third Trimester: Breaststroke is the best swimming exercise that is ideal for pregnant women in their third trimester. This is because, it lengthens the chest muscles and shortens the back muscles which gets misaligned due to body changes during pregnancy. Avoid backstroke swimming as it exerts pressure on the abdominal muscles.
