Would you ski!

[lilima]

I am oly between 5 and 6 weeks pregnant, but we had planned a ski trip for next week. Some people have told me I should not go skiing. What do you think?
TIA

If it was me no I wouldnt but then again I have never skied so would be spending to much time falling over.... Have you ask you DR what they think

[2CheekyMonkeys]

yeah i probably wouldnt either, also because i have never skied before. i am gonna give up my weights and aerobics class for 12 weeks too just to be on the safe side.

Even though you probably don't have a tummy yet hun I still wouldn't risk it and this is coming from a ski freak..... I love it so much but it really isn't worth taking a massive stack and then worrying about it... I'm not the worlds best or fastest skier but just the thought of some of the stacks I have had make me cringe! Maybe you could still go if you are going with friends, and spend the time relaxing and spend your lift pass money on massages and yummy hot chocolates!

i would go. I am a confident skiier and would just take it easy. I was surfing up until about 15 weeks with my DD. Ob said it was fine and i have worse stacks in the water than on the snow. From memory, he said it was fine to do anything i normally do, but don't do anything that my body is not used to...... hope that makes sense!

I guess i depends on how confident and comfortable you feel about it.

If i had a protruding belly, i would think twice about it, but at 5 or 6 weeks you litttl bean is well padded.

id go too!!! i think that early bubs is well protected in your pelvis!! think of how many women play netball up until 2nd trimester!!

Bub would be well protected for sure but I would still be worried about breaking something else or needing surgery etc! not worth the risk plus strenuous exercise is not recommended in the first trimester JMHO.
