Can I swim when I am one month pregnant?

Doctors say that swimming can promote blood circulation in pregnant women and relieve back pain symptoms that often occur during pregnancy. The change in the posture of pregnant women in water is conducive to correcting the fetal position and promoting natural delivery; it increases lung capacity and allows pregnant women to hold their breath for a long time during delivery, shortening the delivery process; it can improve mood, relieve pregnancy reactions, reduce pregnancy headaches, and also has a good effect on the development of the fetal nervous system. It is a suitable exercise for pregnant women.

And in the long run, regular swimming can also help pregnant women maintain a healthy body shape, especially for pregnant women to restore their body shape after giving birth. Pregnant mothers who want to quickly restore their body shape after giving birth must try it as soon as possible.

In terms of time range, except for the first three months of pregnancy, swimming is suitable for swimming at other times. The best time to swim is from May to July, because the fetus is already stable at this time, the internal organs of the body are developing in time, and the endocrine system has begun to function fully. In the later stages of pregnancy, in order to prevent premature rupture of membranes and infection, it is best to stop swimming.

Swimming is one of the more suitable sports for pregnant women, but pregnant women should still take protective measures to ensure safety when swimming.

Things to note when swimming during pregnancy

1. Prepare a pair of non-slip slippers in advance. If you leave the water, whether before or after entering the water, you should wear non-slip slippers to prevent accidentally falling.

2. It is best to choose an outdoor swimming pool. Some swimming pools use hydrogen for disinfection and filtration. Hydrogen can cause discomfort to the respiratory tract of pregnant women, so it is best to choose an outdoor swimming pool to reduce irritation. Or you can choose a swimming pool that uses active oxygen for sterilization and filtration.

3. Don't forget to prepare water or fruit juice in advance. You should carry water and fruit juice with you and replenish them at any time before and during swimming to avoid dehydration.

4. Don't bend or stretch too much to avoid deep diving. Due to the ups and downs of the water's buoyancy, you often feel that your body and joints are not flexing or extending too much. Pregnant women should be especially careful to avoid excessive flexion and extension, which may have adverse effects on the body and fetus. You should never hold your breath while diving, as lack of oxygen is very harmful to the fetus.
