Pregnant Olympian
Is anyone watching the Olympics? D. Sartor from Germany is doing the skeleton, which is sort of like luge, and she is 2 months pregnant!   Doesn't seem safe...

Re: Pregnant Olympian
That's the one where you go down face first? Seems so much more dangerous than the luge, which doesn't seem safe to me to begin with.

Re: Pregnant Olympian
I guess if you worked that hard to get to the Olympics, nothing would stop you.

Re: Pregnant Olympian
Well, as crazy as it sounds, I'm going to say good for her! I know if it were me (and I've been through 2 pregnancies now), I would do it. Seems rough, but if you are in good shape, the baby is well protected. I know I'm probably in the minority on this one, but it is an Olympic dream for some. Now if I was further along than 3 months, I would not.

I guess it depends on the event, but with the luge you are going 80+ miles per hour with very little protection. I don't know that I would risk it.
But if I made the Olympic curling team, nothing would hold me back.

Re: Pregnant Olympian
i agree that if I got that far to get into the olympics, I might have done the same.....I am sure she talked it ovewr with her dr/ob and will be the safest she can but it might be a chance of a lifetime...so good for her!
