Snowboarding?

Question

So I really want to go snowboarding, but am feeling nervous about it.  I had a miscarriage last pregnancy, and really don’t want anything to go wrong this time.  I’m a great rider, I just am feeling maybe it’s a bad idea to go up the mountain first trimester.  Don’t want to hit an edge and fall, or risk someone crashing into me.  Thoughts?

Answer

I feel you girl. My husband is going next weekend with the boys. And already went sledding with the guys this winter. 
He really wants me to come. But also to stay at home because he’s afraid something could happen. My centre of gravity has been changing and last winter I only went twice. To much to risk for some fresh powder 😭
Plus it’s not only myself. But others on the hill we worry about. Inexperienced, clumsy, drunk/stoned or arrogant people on the hill could cause an accident. Don’t get me wrong, we’d take a Mickey of fireball on the hill each regularly. It lead to our own injuries or being awfully sore, Of course no one wants to hurt a pregnant woman, but it happens.

Answer

I wouldn’t. A fall even this early on could be detrimental to the pregnancy.
By all means stay active, but there is a reason you’re advised not to do things like ski, snowboard, waterski, and cycle etc while you’re pregnant.

Answer

I raced skiing for 20 years... my doctor cleared me to take a vacation at 20 weeks. In the first trimester your uterus is very protected. But snowboarding falls are different from skiing. Can you go midweek when there aren’t as many people? Also md said pregnancies survive car crashes and that is blunt force trauma. I would say if your still in your first you are probably ok. But ask you MD. I had ski team friends who skied through 20 or 25 weeks! But again talk to your MD !

Answer

I personally wouldn’t

Answer

Thanks girls.  
Yah I live in a ski resort, so this has been a rough couple weeks every time it snows!! I’m not worried about me falling, but do think about the people who aren’t as confident and they crash into me.  
Maybe I’ll stick to a walk and yoga.  😭

Answer

My doctor was very specific about doing nothing where there is a high risk of falling, and mentioned skiing and snowboarding in particular.

Answer

I would not. You never know what could happen. I wouldn’t do any dangerous sports right now
