What extreme sports can you do while pregnant?

May 18th, 2012 9 comments

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!!!
