to not want to go camping during the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy

[Restrainedrabbit]

I'm 26 weeks pregnant with 2 DCs, Dh has a bee in his bonnet about camping this summer. Normally I'd jump at the chance but even with the most comfortable airbeds/duvets etc I really don't fancy it. I get so stiff in the morning and my hips ache at night, plus I'd rather be at home eating chocolate

I went on holiday, not even camping, when about 7-8 months pregnant. I had a nice bed, fully operational bathroom, kitchen, self catering house, and it was hell. Ants everywhere indoors, plus earwigs; mosquitoes and biting black flies outdoors, and the mosquitoes got in at night too. My hips hurt all night, and the smallest DCs required watching all the time as we were near a river and lake and woods, and there were snakes and also bears (twas in the US) in the vicinity. I just got the joy of cooking on an unfamiliar stove for a week, and cleaning someone else's bathroom when it was all over. Plus insect bites on my feet and lower legs that I couldn't scratch because I couldn't reach them.

YADNBU. I wouldn't do camping at any time, but while 26 weeks pg? You couldn't pay me enough to do that. Cannot understand the appeal of camping at all.

restrainedrabbit my hips ache at night too. Or rather they did, until I was forced onto an airbed by a combination of a house full of visitors and dh's grotty cold. Woke up the next morning and realised my aching hips hadn't woken me once, and indeed after a few nights on the airbed they are fine on a normal bed again. So maybe don't dread the airbed bit

that said, we went luxury camping when I was about 22 weeks, and everything was lovely and easy except the midnight (and 3am) trips to the toilet. Definitely harder than being at home and just stumbling down the hallway. So YANBU, not sure I would agree to camping in pregnancy again, although I love it normally
