hi all! i have a question, do you think it is okay to go to the beach when you are pregnant? and i mean, not just go, but take a swim in the salty water? i mean, it is not dangerous with the cervix and all and the water that is not really very sanitary. and i guess it applies to the pool as well right? what do you think? please tell me what you think about this situation? any opinion is much appreciated. thanks so much guys! :-) God bless you all\!

for me there is nothing wrong with it, just take extra caution though. and it is better to ask your doctor first if it is okay for you to go. remember, when in doubt, don't.

hi dear spoiled311. nature has provided all the security. what happens to the animals? do they not deliver in the jungles and in our backyards? where are the cesarians for them? well protection is necessary against accidents and all sorts of infection no doubt and you need to be careful otherwise there is no problem !! good luck!!

theres nothing wrong going to the beach when pregnant. you can even swim if you like. just dont get tired and do running or jumping. walking is fine and a little of swimming too.

Unless your obstetrician says not to, or you have a high risk pregnancy and the beach is hours away, why not? One of my former employers, worked until three weeks before she gave birth, doing some hard work at that time, too. Hectic, busy place, she was 100 percent working! I think if you have a risky pregnancy everything has to change. You have to skip a lot of things you'd do and take it easy to ensure a good outcome to the best of your ability, at least. I hope you go to the beach and dance in the sand! Celebrate! Millionmalls
