Skiing during pregnancy...
we just found out we're expecting and we had a planned skiing trip with our friends this weekend...my husband is begging me not to go...I want to but I'd rather be safe than sorry...
What would you do?

Re: Skiing during pregnancy...
I personally wouldn't go skiing. I would be too scared of falling.

Re: Skiing during pregnancy...
I wouldnt ....The risk of falling and something happening would scare me too much.
I would ask your Dr.

Re: Skiing during pregnancy...
Although you have to be careful, skiing is OK during the 1st trimester from what I read.
Just take it easy. The black diamond is probably not recommended

My friend went skiing all through her 1st trimester. The baby is well protected in there. Just make sure you stay well hydrated.

Re: Skiing during pregnancy...
I think it depends on how good a skiier you are. Stick to trails that are well within your ability level and you'll be fine. . . are there any cross country ski trails that you might be able to do?
I love skiing and if I stick to the easy trails I wont fall - but I wouldnt do anything challenging while pregnant - no moguls!
and if you feel uncomfortable - a hot cocoa by the fire with a good book is a great alternative!

Re: Skiing during pregnancy...
I wouldn't do any skiing or outdoor [sport] activities at all...simply too risky in general and to add pregnancy to the mix, well, if anything happened [even if the dr. could prove it was from something else] I would never forgive myself.
