Ok, so I'm just back from my health club after going for a wee swim. I was there with my sister and she was in the jacuzzi while i did a couple of laps of the pool. I noticed while I was swimming that a women who was taking a swimming class kept looking at me funny but I just carried on doing what I was doing.
Anyway I got out an went over to the jacuzzi to join my sister. Now I fully aware that a jacuzzi can raise your body temperate so I sat on the edge with my fit dipped in and the water only came up to my knee. The WHOLE time the swimming instructor was watching me. The jacuzzi water was actually quite cool and was no hotter than how I would have my bath so I squatted in the water and it came up to just below my boobs. Now there is noway I would've done this if I thought I was putting myself at risk of overheated and therefore doing the baby damage.
Within 1 minute of me getting in the jacuzzi the women came straight over and said,
"Excuse me, but I don't think you should be in the jacuzzi with your pregnancy as it can actually raise you blood pressure. I really think you should get out now."
I felt soooo patronized and embarrassed and it was obvious because she saw that I was young and pregnant (I'm 19 but look a bit older) she thought I was stupid and didn't know what I was doing! It wasnt what she said but more the smug patronizing way she said it!
I just feel so pissed off at the fact that I have giving up smoking, drinking sugary drinks, coffee, brie, pate and everything else your not supposed to do/eat during pregnancy at the fear of putting my babies health at risk. Only to be made to feel guilty about getting in a lukewarm jacuzzi for ONE minute!!!
Sorry for the rant ladies, OH just doesnt understand lol
