Anyhoo, I let myself feel really frustrated and sorry for myself since biking with the hubby, running and using the elliptical are pretty much out of the picture. But two days ago I said enough is enough and I hopped in the pool. I swam for about 20 minutes, not wanting to push it too hard incase it, too, hurt my pelvic bones. But it felt soo good. No issues! Yay! So today I went back to the gym and swam for 40 minutes. It's a SLOW 40 minutes with some breaks, but I feel so much better after working out. I know what my body was craving and it feels so good to give it what it needs. And I was really afraid it was going to be a super long session since I'm not the world's greatest swimmer but it went by so fast and I honestly could have stayed longer; it was like someone was giving me crack and I just couldn't get enough. I love it when it's like this!
Now I just need to find someone to help me out technique wise because I know I am not the greatest swimmer. I'm going to try and watch some videos to help me out.

I am so glad that you were able to find something that you can do exercise wise. It is so tough going through training withdrawal.
You are doing great - I know it is tough! Soon enough you'll be back up and doing everything. When is your due date?
Glad you are enjoying the swimming! It must feel great.
And about your husband's question below. My first triathlon ever was a half ironman. If he takes the training seriously he should be okay. He just needs to take it seriously. You can just "jump into" a sprint or olympic distance and survive. The half ironman becomes a different beast.
Glad you got to swim! I too feel down - Seriously why does pregnancy have to be so hard :)?
