safety question

[pipesa29]

I just found out I'm pregnant, and I'm an avid hunter. I believe I'm about 7 weeks, I still need to see my doctor. But does anyone know if its safe to hunt/shoot guns while pregnant?

Thank you so much for all the feed back, I've still got a few weeks till season opens so thank you!

My doctor told me I could as long as your not in a tree stand

Its not safe to shoot a gun with a lot of kick pregnant. My husband bought me a shot gun as a suprise and I haven't be able to shoot it! ): i would hold of on hunting till you talk with your doctor and see what he says

Yes you can hunt, but drs advise against climbing in tree stands. The first yr I want to get my hunters safety license and they tell me dont climb tree stands and thats the only way bfs family hunts! Was hoping to kill my dirst deer again this yr but then got pregnant when my daughter was 2 months lol.

I hunted through my last pregnancy and everything was fine. I had a happy healthy baby

You can still shoot up until I think you 3rd trimester and not indoors.  Just be careful and check with your doctor.  I had the same problem lol:)

I dont know... It might depend on the gun... But I could be totally wrong.
What I do know is that early on in your pregnancy you're most prone to losing the baby so the most important time to take precautions is now. Definitely check with a doctor...
