silly question but is this safe when pregnant?

[scaredmum2be]

Planning on going swimming either tomorrow or on the 31st but at my swimming pool their are some large adult water slides are these safe in preg? im 28 weeks

[JE1234]

No they aren't and they should have a warning saying not to use if you're pregnant.

[Scarydinosaurs]

Definitely do not use them- you can hit the water with some serious force. I would stay well away.

[jamesdeandaydream]

Of course they aren't safe.

[99percentchocolate]

No way - the speed and force of the water could mirror the impact of a car crash for a pregnant woman.

Is this a joke?

[scaredmum2be]

No it wasn't a joke thanks.
I did think afterwards I had seen the sign saying no pregnant women before.
I'm sorry I asked a stupid question and I feel like a right idiot now but please don't be horrible to me. I've been through enough all ready.

I hate to sound like my mum but the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. So don't feel as! Ignore the rude replies and have a nice swim.

[sepa]

To be honest, I'm not sure I would have even thought about it!
I agree with AnnaT45 (unless your asking if your pregnant and not POAS then all questions shouldn't really be a silly one)

[YouBastardSockBalls]

Sorry, didn't want to make you feel bad.

Same thought crossed my mind when I took my niece swimming at about 20 weeks- I wondered if I could go on the big water slide for a brief moment then decided best not to. It's easy to have a brain lapse when there's so much advice to consider/pregnancy hormones/sleep depravation confusing matters. Enjoy your swim though!

Better to ask the question than just to go ahead and do it

[Champagneformyrealfriends]

Don't feel bad for asking it's better to check if you're not sure! To be fair me and DH went away when I was 10w and I very nearly suggested the water park! Xx

[zippyswife]

Bloody hell. Give the girl a break! Don't feel bad for asking a question! That's what this place is here for. Enjoy your swim
