Maybe pregnant. Can I go boating?

Hello everyone,

I have been visiting this board for a few weeks now and am impressed by the support and wisdom shared among the members. Here are my details. DH and I are TTC#1. My LMP was June16. My period is about 30-35 days ( regularly irregular ). July 4th lot of EWCM. BD'ed July 4th, 5th and 7th. July 16th had a terrible headache ( I normally don't have such headaches ). July 17th CM with streak of brown (TMI). Today (July 18th) slightly tender bbs. So, I may be pg. I just started charting on FF about a week ago, mostly for future TTC since I wasn't expecting success this month. So, that does not tell me much yet. I plan to take HPT Sunday morning.

Now the question - DH arranged for a boat ride in the gulf this Sunday. If I am pg, I will be about 12-13 days along. I am worried about the bumpy ride and the vibrations in general, for few hours. Is is safe to go? If I am pg, I don't want to risk it. DH says it should be fine and that some women don't even know that they are pg until much later. What to do?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I agree with dh. We go to Marco Island every other summer, and when I was preggers (like you-the beginning) I went boating-just if you have m/s wear a motion sickness band!!! Have fun!!!

Well, I tested this morning - BFN. The boat trip got cancelled for the day due to bad weather. Bummer! If AF doesn't show until then, I will test again next weekend. We will try boating next weekend again. Thanks for your advice. I wish good luck and a short stay on this board to everybody.

From a boater myself, I am sorry things didn't work out this time but for future reference...

My friends and I are powerboaters (the big boats that go fast). We race and have a blast and my best friend was pregant last summer. She rode in the boat the whole pregnancy, and if she ever got uncomfortable then her husband just slowed down a little. You should of course ask your doctors advice however, several boaters ride all the way through their pregancy. I plan to if I ever conceive (fingers crosed). Just thought you might like to know.

On that note, I will keep my fingers crossed for you that your BFP is just around the corner.
