sledding in early pregnancy okay?

[sepears1]

so im only 7.3 weeks along, so not very far, but my birthday is this coming sun and i was thinking about having a little childhood fun and doing some sledding. Im wondering is this should be okay. I dont plan on anything violent or involving machinery, so i figured it to be okay. My mom is an OB nurse and she said i should be okay if im careful. but i dont know if im being too risky. and should i just call it off and do something else?

i wouldn't risk it that early on.

But when i was 9 months pregnant with my son i went tobogganing LOL. I shouldn't of but it was really fun and i was trying to bring on labor didn't work..

hmm. yes i wouldnt want to risk it, and my doc appointment is a day after the event. maybe i can think of something else, but if not i could probably still have the sledding with friends, but just watch i guess

I used to do this kind of thing while pregnant, even went snow tubing around 5 months with my past son.  BUT-- having just had my 3rd m/c, I would agree with the other ladies. I honestly wouldn't risk it.  You would 99% *probably* be fine, but what if something happened afterward?  Even if the sledding didn't cause it, you would always wonder and worry.  Just my opinion, but I would think of a fun alternative.  Losing a baby is devastating.  :(

I really wouldnt risk it either. I had a miscarriage a couple years ago. There were a couple events that I feel could have had something to do with it. I was (lightly) rear ended and the second being that I went sledding with my kidlets. I had hit(accidently) a small ramp. They baby stopped developing. Its possible it was just "life" happening, but I wouldnt do it again whilst preggers to be on the safe side.
