jet skis and water activities?

Im going on a lil holiday camping and we have a boat and jet ski. I would ask my doc but dont see her untill I get back and dont want to call her so advice? Im 30 weeks on tuesday and heading camping on the weekend for a week. Obviously a lot of bumps wouldnt be safe, but is it okay to ride on a jet ski and go for boat rides? Considering the water to be fairly flat. How about going on a ski biscuit too? Could it cause labor to come early or should it be fine? Anyone else gone on a jet ski and done water activites late in pregnancy?

Boat rides are ok but id advise you skip out on the jet ski cuz no matter how calm the water is its always a bumpy ride

Haha I hate roller coasters! Yeah I guess its pretty unsafe, I was just thinking it was like a car ride, we have owned a boat my whole life, Im so used to it I didnt think it would be so bad. good luck with the test of pregnancy and birth!!!

I know I have the rest of my life to jet ski and that being thrown off is defs unsafe. Thats why I said the water to be fairly flat, I was just meaning as a nice calm ride on the water. Thanks for the advice though looks like ill just be tanning :)

Well,   companies that rent jet skis won't rent to pregnant women because of the risk.  So no,  you have the rest of your life to jet ski,  I don't think it's a good idea to risk being thrown off  or bounced around to that degree.

And no on the ski biscuit too.  Any activity where you can't rent the equipment if you're pregnant is not a good idea to use if you already own it - the rental companies would certainly love to take your money but they don't want to be sued for harming you and your baby.

Honestly I wouldn't do anything that you you'll be violently thrown off of. Especially not that late in your pregnancy. You need to call your dr and get their opinion though. We aren't drs nor do we have all the answers.
