Any ideas? Is it okay to dive in the pool, off the blocks or off the side while in your first trimester? I am an avid swimmer for the last 15 or so years.
I'm a guy...so I've never actually carried a child. But I am a father of two. I'd say that if you have to ask then you probably ought to refrain. Is it that important during these few months? Just my opinion. An OB-GYN's opinion might be more valuable here.

Hi Fishy-- I didn't compete during any of my (3) pregnancies so I didn't need to dive. I did practice all the way up to delivery days, though. I always just did a feet first entry in the water for practice to be on the safe side. Not sure what your OB would say about diving for a meet - probably good to ask.
Hi! I'm not an OB but I'm a mother of 2. I don't think it's safe to dive when you're pregnant. Might as well wait after pregnancy and dive anytime you want.
