Why would you want to risk it?
No, not a good idea, neither for you nor the little one.

Not sure about a Swimming Pool Diving board ... Doesn't sound safe to me... it's harmful Just to fall must less jump ...
I have information about Scuba diving ... I know it's different BUT if Scuba diving is SO harmful .. It's easy to think any other kind of diving would be risky.
"Diving And Pregnancy
One of the most frequent questions people ask is regarding scuba diving while pregnant. The quick answer is "Please don't dive" while you're pregnant. We don't have very good data showing that hyperbaric pressure harms the fetus, and in fact, there are case records of HBO treatment of pregnant mothers with carbon monoxide poisoning without adverse effect on the fetus. However, the fetus does not have the protection of the lungs in filtering out the bubbles as does an adult."

You can continue swimming, in fact its great for the baby. I would probably NOT dive off anything though - thats alittle too risky.

Swimming is fine. I wouldn't dive or jump in. Just use the steps to get into the pool. Or sit on the side and ease yourself in.

Swimming is always good. I just don't no about diving because of the part where you have to bend over.

No, the force of the water against the skin and internal organs will be too great for a fragile child. Sorry. Take Care.

swimming is a great exercise but as for diving please hold off on it until after the baby comes, you dont want to risk hurting your angel that you are carrying,babies are precious,so take it easy . you can ask your doctor but i bet he/she will say NO to the diving.

I would certainly ask a doctor about this. I could see both sides of the argument.....

I would guess not - and it might become somewhat uncomfy anyway, but ask a doc!
