I'm going skiing in a few weeks, and will be 11 weeks pregnant. The question is, do I ski or not? I skied (gently) in my last pregnancy (but I was 6/7 weeks at the time), and if the last pregnancy was anything to go by, I don't anticipate showing by the time we go (though realise 2nd pregnancies can be different in that respect). I do exercise regularly - go to the gym and run regularly (and I kept running through my last pregnancy until my back gave up in protest at 6 months) - so the exercise itself will not be a shock.
Much as I love skiing, I can live without it - don't get me wrong. The problem is that we're going with extended family, none of whom yet know about the pregnancy - nor do I want to tell them yet - and it's going to look a bit obvious if I start making excuses. There are only so many times I can use playing in the snow with ds (who's 2) as an excuse.
So, can I ski gently? If not, what excuses can I come up with so as not to arouse suspicions?
