Not to quit in my first trimester

[Bexterfish]

Please don't slam me. I'm 7 weeks pregnant. I've known for a couple of weeks. Once a week I do trampolining, not on a kids one in the garden I mean proper gymnastic style with a coach. Aibu to keep it up until I get a bump which will alter my balance, so probably about Christmas when I'm 12ish weeks. It's the only exercise I do, I'm not doing any stomach landings and I'm competition level so I know what I'm doing and therefore unlikely to have serious fall (there's always a risk). My coach doent know because He's got a big mouth and would tell everyone but I'm taking it easy but I'm just not ready to give up yet plus quiting will 'out' me. I did my last competition a couple of weeks ago and won't be entering anymore. Guidelines say you shouldn't do things that risk a fall but I think I'm more likely to fall over my shoe laces. Is there anything dangerous about jumping? I feel totally fine when I do it, in fact I feel more well then than the rest of the day. Aibu?

So you obvipusly dont come across like you care about your baby enoigh yet to avoid the risks... wow.

How would you genuinely feel if your trampolining actually caused serious harm to your unborn baby or worse, you lost it? You attitude is making me question whether you'd care....

That's totally unfair. Not everyone bonds with their pregnancy at 7 weeks you know. I've seen no scan, felt no kick, not been sick. the only evidence I have I'm pregnant is 2 blue lines on a stick I peed on. It feels like every other month of my life. I don't feel like there's baby inside me so I'm finding it hard to belive there is, which makes giving up stuff I love hard. Id love a glass of wine bit I'm not stupid so obviously I won't but something so less defined is hard because 2 little lines is hard to imagine a real baby. I know plenty women struggle with giving stuff up early in pregnancy so at lay I'm not smoking or drinking. I connected with my pregnancy early last time, I had a scare, it was fine but it terrified me, I guess maybe the disconnect is my brains way of protecting me if something does go wrong. I'd be so gutted if I lost this baby. I'd never forgive myself. So maybe that is it. Maybe I can't tramp again.

I wouldn't do it myself, but I think a lot of the comments on here are unnecessarily vicious. I can completely understand the difficulty in giving up a part of life and independence, and over the course of this thread the OP has listened to arguments and changed her position. She is being honest, not uncaring. If it is difficult to read just move on, don't pile on once the point has been made.

@Bexterfish its one thing not being able to bond yet and another to continue to partake in an activity that can have serious risks to your unborn baby. How is that any different to smoking or having a glass a wine? A risk is a risk. I really hope you listen to what people on MN are telling you and more importantly the MEDICAL ADVICE you have been given and dont go to that last session. If you feel like a hobby is more important to you than your unborn child than I wonder why you even wanted to get pregnant in the first place. Sorry if thats harsh but its just what im thinking

In my first pregnancy I was very similar - I avoided food/ibuprofen and alcohol but went skiing (properly including pistes that were a bit of a push for my skill level without being stupid), fell a few times (but did avoid over 3000m). I more or less considered myself "late" rather than pregnant until booking in and the 12w scan to avoid being too invested in what might happen.

My major concern would be psychologically would you commit less effectively to moves making injury more likely?

Seriously though I didn’t ‘bond’ with my baby in early pregnancy

What I did realise, however, is that whilst I was pregnant, I had a responsibility towards that cluster of cells/embryo/foetus/baby to not wilfully do anything that could cause harm to it. That has continued since said cell developed became a baby and was born.

You are putting your own needs against the development of these cells into the child that you planned and wanted

Please stop being such a monumental twat.

Can anyone tell me why you aren’t allowed to jump while pregnant? Thanks

Lots of reasons have been given on this thread. A GP has said about detachment not that many replies up from yours for example.

OP, if I went to my GP, they would look it up, see the NHS guidance shared above and advise me to stop.
