A member asked:
I'm 21weeks pregnant with a cerclage placed at 12.5weeks. my ob said i could go swimming as long as the pool had chlorine in it. is this still safe?

Good question: There is no data in the literature that can answer this question with certainty. However, with that being said, there should be minimal risks with swimming as long as you are mostly relaxing in the water and not doing strenuous activity to increase abdominal pressure because the cervix is still weak.
