I am a man so i don't know. Is it possible for pregnant women to go swimming with out unintentionally drowning the baby? How can the baby breath if the vagina is underwater? Should the women keep the vagina above water so the baby can breath through the vagina

hmmm...my dear,i went for swimming last week,and i saw one pregnant lady swimming,but she does not stay long in water.So i know that pregnant women due swim.
Ladies,abeg make una put mouth for this issue

Lol at baby breathing from the vagina.A child in the womb does not take in air through the vagina.The child gets its oxygen from the mother.

Yes a pregnant woman can swim.She needs to check with her doctor first to be sure her health is ok and when she swims,she should do it leisurely and not like someone competing.It's good exercise for the body.

The baby will just drown!!!

I think it's a bad idea. Even though i don't kno the science behind it. There are just too many "what if's"....

Swimming is a particularly good exercise in pregnancy, as the water helps to support your extra weight. This can be a huge relief, especially in the third trimester. And unlike some other forms of aerobic exercise, swimming helps you to feel cool. The pool water should be no warmer than 32 degrees C. But don't worry, as most public pools are cooler than this, unless they've been heated for a specific reason.

Swimming also helps to:
- improve circulation
- boost heart and lung function
- increase muscle tone and strength
- build endurance
- reduce swelling and fluid retention
- burn calories, which helps to manage weight gain
- promote good sleep
- fend off fatigue
- ease aches and pains
