What extreme sports can you do while pregnant?

I’m an extreme sports guru. Especially when it comes to white water rafting. Is it okay to do while pregnant? I’m almost 19 weeks along and I am very experienced. What other sports are okay to continue? I’m in the middle of getting my health care changed so I do not have a particular doctor to speak to on it.

My doctor told me that I could continue to do any and all physical activity that I normally did including lifting until I felt it was no longer safe to do. I worked in a nursing home lifting patients until my 8th month of pregnancy, stayed active during both pregnancys, both of my kids turned out well, but do please make sure to take your prenatal vitamins every day, and intaking extra calcium is important too!!!

    Jeez..This is crappy!! Girl use your commen sense! People struggle to hold onto pregnancys and they will do anything they can to to keep their baby safe! Do your baby a favour and lay off the extreme stuff….it’s not for long. Try doing water exercises or walking to kep your fitness levels up.

    It’s not safe, as any hard bump or fall could cause you to lose your baby.

    I don’t think there are many (if any) doctors that would say it’s all right to continue with extreme sports while pregnant.

    Trust me as you go further along- pregnancy will be an extreme sport. Especially when it comes to labor. Or even the weeks prior to labor when all you want to do is put the bag of rocks down for just awhile. The only extreme sport I would participate in is sex and even with that you need to be careful. Take it easy- it is 9 months and you want to start it off right (no injuries to anybody).

    Keep in mind that if you break any bones or dislocate anything or strain/sprain anything that you will still have to be preggers while it heals and it is not going to be any fun, especially if it involves your back or legs.
