Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.

...my hyper-mobility MIGHT have been increased with 3 pregnancies and that the tendons might not re-tighten. Hyper-mobility is apparently good in youth, not so good when you're older :oldman: because it makes you injury prone. Anyone noticed any change after pregnancies?
Oh yes. Feet widened/arches dropped. Knees were affected, too - patellas slide inwards. I have had many recent bouts with tendonitis. Hard to say if it is due to pregnancies, as I did sprain both ankles as a teen.
