I actually wore a mothercare tankini style thing, so bikini bottoms, which is a HUGE deal for me, and didn't feel too self-conscious. Once I was in the water it was fantastic, for the first time in months my hips didn't hurt ata ll! In fact it caught me unawares when I got back to the changing room and my hip hurt, cos it had been a good hour with no pain!
I swam a few lengths and just generally enjoyed being in the water. It's been years since I did that, so I'm really pleased with myself, if a little tired lol
Just wanted to share my good mood with you all, I hope you're having a good day too

In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
I've actually decided to do their aquanatal class on a thursday - pregnant women only, gentle exercise. I think Rusty wants to go swimming with me every week too. He did say that if I wanted to, I could go swimming twice a week by myself and he wouldn't go, but I think he enjoyed it too and it's nice to do stuff together.
It is enjoy the togetherness well done you for going.
Im going to brave the sea for the first time in years im like you dont even go swimming and i so miss it i brought like surf shorts so i feel a little better, keep it up luv jad
Don't walk behine me I might got you lost!
Don't walk in front of me I may not follow you!
Don't walk beside me the path is to small!
All we can do is walk our own paths,remember your not alone because we are all walking our own paths together!
Yay It sounds like you had a wonderful time and the antenatal class sounds ace.
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.
I just got back from the aquanatal class, and it was fab! I'm definitely going next week
The instructor is lovely, she spoke to me for a bit before we started, and she (and the other lady who run it) are both midwives at the hospital I'm booked in to have the baby at! She said apart from the fitness side, they also understand that antenatal info isn't very good, so they're trying to give out information on anything helpful too. She gave me a booklet which explains the policies at the hospital I'll be going to, which has answered a lot of questions for me.
I felt a bit silly doing aerobic-style exercises at first, but there were only 6 of us there and we all had a bit of a laugh so I soon forgot about feeling silly and really enjoyed it.
The best bit was using 'noodle' floats - long tubular foam floats - because it was so relaxing to have the weight taken off my hips and just float in the water - lovely
