Pregnancy & Water Parks: Safety for Early Trimester Swimming
QuestionHi, I am going to be 8 weeks pregnant next week June, 1st. I am ofcourse not showing and have not been to the OBGYN yet. My appointment is the 2nd. My family is coming from back home and we are going this weekend for the holiday. Is the wave pool and slides okay for me to swim in? I have seen women pregnant and looking like they are ready to pop who went to the wavepool back home but I havent seen any at a water slide. Would this be okay since I am not showing? I would really like to enjoy myself if its safe for the baby and I. The only health issues I have are excerise asthma but never in water.(just running and doing on land sports) Please and thank you!
AnswerThe wave pool should be OK, but I am concerned about the water slides. Generally when you are pregnant, you do not want to do any activity where you could fall, take a blow to the abdomen, or have someone crash into you. So keep off the slides and enjoy the rest.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
