Sore bump when swimming

[Danni]

Has anyone else experienced this around 15 week mark?

I had the same feeling at 13 weeks when I went swimming last pregnancy as well.

My bump just aches and its a yucky feelng

Yes I had this when I was pregnant with DD. I use to swim 4 days a week before I was pregnant with her, so I was a bit dissapointed when it was so uncomfortable for me to swim with a belly. I gave it up because I just wasn't enjoying it. Mine was around the 17/18wk mark. My obs also advised me to stop it if it made me too sore.

Maybe Aqua aerobics would cause less soreness.......

Well I actually wasnt swimming laps. I was just playing in the deep water with Ds?

Yep D I had this when prg with my DD too. It was such an unpleasant feeling that I didn't go in the water when I was prg the second time (although that prg was mainly during winter).

I wonder if it is muscular? I haven't experienced it personally, but maybe the cold tightens up the muscles or something and makes them a bit achey? (Particularly because they're doing some pretty serious stretching atm anyway...)
Sorry that it spoiled your swim

It might improve as you get bigger funnily enough! I had pains around 20-26 week mark with minw but am now comfortably able to swim 1km. It might be to do with where the baby is and where the pressure is in the uterus - but that's just a guess as that's what it feels like IYKWIM.
