    I think that the only thing that you need to be concerned with is protecting your skin and not getting too hot. You just want to make sure that you use sunscreen b/c women who are pregnant have more sensitivity and are more easily to burn. The beach is a good place to go though b/c if you get hot you can go in the water! Have a great time!

    You can go but be careful with the waves and everything. You don't want to get knocked off your feet. That wouldn't be too good. Also try your best not to swallow any of the water. The salt and bacteria in them is not good for anybody especially pregnant women. Swimming is a great exercise for pregnant women. Congratulations.

    You are fine with going to the beach in your first trimester.. I actually went swimming at the beach during mine --- I think it becomes a problem with the salt water or something when you reach your 3rd trimester.. so enjoy it while you can : )

    I don't see a problem with it. Don't drink the water, but I don't see many people drinking salt water for fun anyway. I do what I usually do now that I am pregnant - with the exception of a few things: ie: alcohol. There is being safe in pregnancy and then there is taking it too far. Have fun!!!
