Boats?

So, Im 11w along , no complications so far, and was planning on going on a boat this weekend (like a 20 footer), and it occurred to me that it can get kind of bumpy sometimes, do you think its a bad idea i.e. dangerous for the baby? Anyone have any experience iwth this?
Should I even call the doctor to ask?

Thanks!

Re: Boats?

Id call and ask. It can get choppy. Im sure its fine but Id rather be safe than sorry!

Re: Boats?

as long as your healthy and having a good pregnancy I would think it would be fine. Just hope you don't have any morning sickness b/c mixing that with sea sickness doesn't sound good

I never had any morning sickness with either pregnancies so I think it would be fine. Mention to your OB if you're not sure

Re: Boats?

I went boating a lot with DS and he was just fine. Plus you have to remember, they are floating around in fluid, so while you can be bounced around pretty good, they are still just floating around in water and the impact isnt NEARLY as rough for them.

Re: Boats?

def. call your OB and ask, mine specifically told me when I was there last week that he did not want be on a boat because of the bouncing - but every doctor is different, so yours may be fine with it.

Re: Boats?

so glad you asked this! We are wondering the same thing!

Re: Boats?

some ob's say no and others say its ok.

my ob said no in first tri

I still went out on a boat this past weekend in florida, but I knew for sure it was calm

we have a boat and sometimes it can get really rough, so I would say check with your ob

Re: Boats?

UPDATE: The nurse at the docs office said it would be fine, as long as I wasnt having morning sickness issues.

thanks ladies!
