Has anybody skied in their first trimester?

Question

I have been skiing since I could walk, basically. Grew up and still live in Colorado, and am a very capable skier. 
I just found out I’m pregnant (around 4 weeks), but also just bought my season pass days before. 
The pass is non refundable, and I’m ok with eating the money if I need to.
But I’m wondering if anybody here has skied in their first trimester? What was your experience? Would you recommend it?
I will be having a conversation with my doctor this week about this, but want some firsthand accounts. Thanks!!

Answer

I haven’t been
But I also wouldn’t go. And I wasn’t the type to skip out on life while pregnant..but I’m also a terrible skiier so I could see myself taking way too many falls to feel comfortable doing it myself. 
Do what feels right for you. The other poster is right in saying baby is still very low, tiny, and well guarded at this point. But, in my mind it wouldn’t be worth the risk.

Answer

I live in Summit County and my OB was fine with me skiing first trimester because uterus is still in the pelvis. I got clumsier later in pregnancy and personally felt better with stopping skiing. A couple of my friends are skilled backcountry and they skied much later in their pregnancies.

Answer

Yeah I skied in my first, and my friend who is better than me skied into her third! 
Just ski conservatively, don’t take new terrain or conditions, maybe get them tuned. As you progress your balance will be off, and your joints get relaxed. More chances of falling and beyond the pregnancy, more chances to tear something. Pregnancy would be a bad time to tear your ACL.

Answer

I’d do it. Just take it easier than usual. I’m not a skier, but I mtb and I did that until early second trimester. Looking forward to getting back into it.
