On a boat while pregnant?

Question

I'm 34 weeks pregnant.. Is it ok to go on a boat ride?

Answer

I don't understand why you couldn't go on a boat??? Perhaps you won't be comfortable on a bumpy high-speed power boat certainly. And going on a cruise just might mean baby is born at sea so each cruise line has recommendations for gestation and cruising. If you're actually concerned you should be asking your doctor, not the Internet.

Answer

Depends on the boat. Are we talking speed boat or slow hour long 'cruises'?

Anything rough or bumpy, no.

Answer

I went on a boat at 33.5 weeks and 33.6 weeks! Nothing happened, I sat in the back where it was less bumpy! I haven't gone on since (dad traded his boat for a bigger one) so when he gets his new one in the next couple of weeks, I'll be going on it!

Answer

I'm going on a pontoon boat ride in a few weeks. Doesn't go fast, so it's totally fine. I wouldn't do a speed boat or jet ski obviously but cruise boats or pontoons are fine

Answer

I don't think there's anything wrong with a boat in general, but I also think that "being on a boat" is not precise enough for anyone to really give advice. As some people have said, being on a cruise for a week is quite different from being on a speed boat for half an hour. I would have liked to go kayaking my third trimester but wasn't sure what my balance would be like and then found out they wouldn't take pregnant women anyway. So depending on the type of boat and activity there could be completely different considerations.

Answer

Nope not okay at all

Answer

Probably not smart. And if you are doing a boat tour of some sort they may not even allow you to.
