To go swimming at 40 weeks pregnant?

[Stripylikeatiger]

I'm wondering if there is any unwritten rules about this, I'm mostly concerned about the risk of my waters breaking in the pool and contaminating the pool.

It's pregnancy number 2 and my waters didn't break until I was in labour with dc1 so it's probably very unlikely that they will break in the pool!

I was still swimming at 41+ weeks with DC1 I was desperate to get the baby to turn from back to back, plus I liked the weightless feeling, and was doing 100 lengths (slowly!). He didnt turn.

I think the poor young lad who was lifeguarding was utterly terrified though!
