    Thanks for the advice. I am pretty confident on the runs. I am meant to be skiing with a friend who hasn't been for a few years, so it would probably be blue runs. I was thinking of maybe doing a half day, and then go build a snowman with DS. I will talk to my Ob/Gyn today.

    you sound like a confident skier - so go with what you feel is best - I certainly would not call downhill skiing strenous exercise - particularly if you are experienced.

    I plan to go cross country skiing in September - I will be about 5 months by then. I am not a confident downhill skier, so falling or colliding with others is very likely. But I am very fit and find cross country skiing like going for my usual training runs. In any case, it is about reducing the risk of falling hard or colliding with others.

    Hope you have fun and don't worry too much!!

    Just wanted to quickly post to let you all know that I did ski. It was good, but quite tiring. I only skiid for the afternoon, and that was enough for me. Didn't do anything too daring. Nearly got run into by a beginner, but I am experienced enough to avoid a disaster. Thanks everyone for you thoughts on the subject.
